Hey!

I've been into Minis for the past year, and still am, but as my current Mini is turning more into a project that needs some work and a bit of off-the-road attention, I've decided to look into the possiblity of having it garaged up to keep as a project, and get another car to get about my usual business in!
Only thing with the above is, I want something cool and classic! I figured the likes of a Beetle, 2CV or Fait 500 would be hard to stumble across and use as an everyday car, and another Mini would be the same story all over, so I decided to look at other maybes.. And I've always had an eye for the Mk2 Golf.. I like it's mean bulky expression, and after having a few breif conversations with an owner of one, I'm tempted to get my own!
I've came about the forum to hopefully get more information about them! Any chance somebody could help me out with a list of models that came in Mk2, and their engine sizes? Were there standard Mk2 and limited editions? etc
Also, whats the chances of picking up a 1.3? Most Mk2s I see for sale are 1.6, and 1.8 and 2.0 GTIs, which arn't really much good to me! Trying to bend around a few insurance quotes before I consider buying one!
Thanks for any help, no doubt you guys will see me floating between topics!
