cheers guys that polo saloon looks sweet! what about (i think it's the mk3 jetta) but the one with the same front end as a mk3 golf, i can't seem to find them anywhere in the uk but they are cool cars.

I think what you're referring to is a Vento with a Golf mk3 front end :smiley:

correct, thankyou, do you know what the smallest engine size they do them in is? can't find many :(

cheers, again! they're all too bigger engines, unless i can find a mk1, why do they keep up threads when the car is sold?  :huh:

Not 100% sure.... Possibly instead you wondering where a car has gone that you recently found, you can see it's sold rather than wondering where it went..


Anyway, what's the biggest engine you're after?

I sent that link so you can keep on eye on it as you never know there may be more on it next time you check.

cool car, but it's red so i'm afraid there's no chance! struggling to find a cheap mk3 1.4.

Satin black can job would sort that out.  :wink:

Thought us fancy something with a bit of poke over a barge with a canal boat motor in it.

got my eye on a mk1 caddy. seem to be the best solution and are seriously cool! your right about it though the mk3's are sluggish unless in vr6 format!
