S reg Mk3 VR6, yes really!
« on: 16 October 2003, 22:58 »
Has anyone out there seen any S reg Mk3 Golf hatchbacks?
The estate carried on until W reg I believe so no big deal but anything later than an R in the hatch is pretty rare.
I currently have an S reg VR6 for sale which you may be interested in guys, full info here

You're not insinuating Victor Kyam has a 'wrong un' on his forecourt are you?
I did notice it had the South African anti car jacking flame throwers fitted though.
Bizarre

Well Glen, you complained about this forum being boring so I thought you may appreciate some thread that didn't feature "it aint a proper GTI anyway" ;)

Anyway I dont expect anyone here to buy it, it's too expensive!

No leather on door cards is part of the South African spec Overseer, I think there is a limit to how much hot black leather they can handle in 40 degrees heat!

The leather is also not heated, and I have checked, the seats don't have heater elements so they are factory.

I've just bought the plate S28 VRG which will go with the car subject to negotiation.

The best bit is that unlike the later UK VR6's which were softened up, this one can handle at least as good as a GTI and goes like a good GTI should do, unlike an 8v (ooops sorrry!) ::)
