No, didn't get mine, must of missed your post about freebie mag.

Yes they're serious..  This is the second series 2 (non campaign) that I have seen recently at an Auction with that guide price.  Quite incredible really for a car that has 116k on the clock and isn't even the most desirable version.   Best get myself some wolfsburg mudflaps, radio cassette player and a respray fast!

Reminds me of this:

I call it THE MK1 that never sells.  It has been for sale in every classifieds place you can think of at some point and has continued doing this for years now.   The only thing that changes is the price.... It keeps going up! First time I clocked it a few years ago it was going for around 7-8k.  Now it's at 11k!

It was specially made for someone famous, can't remember who and they've stopped mentioning it in the ads now.

stupid price if someone tried to sell me a car with a cassette tape player in it with no power steering for £11K it best be a rolls or 60's muscle car like the general lee

I think that mk1 will fetch over £5k crazy as it may seem.

Of course it wil, even I would pay that if I could.  Just think 8 is taking the piddle a little.

£8k is taking the piddle but they are heading the way of big money, don't think it will be long and you may even see £8k to £10k for a mint campaign

Already seen the odd Campaign for that kind of money... Its big posh auction houses or collectors that manage to tempt the right buyers that are willing to spend.

This thing isn't even a Campaign.

the car has more optional extras than a campaign..  the campaign is overated, as all it is is a regular mk1 golf with 4 or 5 optional extras made as standard. IMO a car bought 1 week before the sales promotion started with the same extras is the same car. 

8k is a lot, there was a mint black mk1 with about 40k on it and very rarely driven out of the garage it lived in that went for 4.5k about 3 years ago.

That one in the 1st link has been on eBay for months & months at around that price.
