Welcome Bristolgolfer

Smart move coming here to find a cherished car as many on the general market now are pretty rough including ones being sold by franchised dealers (as a colleague of mine who is also currently looking for a decent example will testify).
Maybe a wanted ad in the for sale section might be an idea if you haven’t already.
And a tag line in your forum signature(?)
A Golf GTI is a very different proposition to a Boxter, much less revvy engine and everything less direct and involving, but it’s a very good car for what it is (a handsome family hatch with sporting credentials and not a bloody SUV)
Good luck!
