What is it you want?  :smiley:

Loads on MK3's are being broken at the moment which may well be contributing to their decline!

I'm in the same boat (pun definitely intended :p ) mate. I want a decent early 8v / 16v and am not picky with regard colour / no. of doors etc,  but they're all either dogs or over priced :( Seen a couple of Ok looking ones, but then they're miles away and I simply don't have time to travel the country.

You'll have to travel to find a good mk3 these days. Plenty out there. Good time to buy just now too.

I sold my MK3. But honestly speaking I regret it. I know it was an 8V, But it was one sorted 8V and it didn't suffer from rust either. Bodywork and mechanically was sorted.

Just wait and hang around you will find a nice example. Dont rush and buy a dog.
