its a rare g60 , what shall i do ??
« on: 22 December 2005, 10:54 »
opinions needed,
As some of you may know i have got a golf g60 which i bought with the intention of using as my daily project car (caddy for work vr6 for the family!!)
BUT the g60 turns out to be a very very rare one , it was vw factory painted on day 1 in a porsche nile green ,(it is possiblyan oettinger but i have yet to get confirmation back from vw or oettinger :angry:)
I have only found evidence of one other in this colour (worldwide not just uk!!)and that one is an oettinger,
The question is what do i do with it ?,
leave it standard and keep it ? (which is not what i bought it for )
sell it to someone who is willing to mint / concours it and give it the love it deserves!
I could just mod it but would i be doing wrong ??


 :santa: remember leave me a soddin mince pie and i pop a cap in yo ass while you sleep

I'd wait and see what you can find out about it...definatly don't mod it if it's an oettinger...would be worth a fair bit if there's only 2 of them in the world!!

saying that I wouldn't mod it anyway because it's a g60..they aren't exactly common and there's gradually becoming less and less original ones about..but at the end of the day it's your motor and your choice!  :smiley:
08.03.10 - 3, maybe 4 weeks, and I want my golf back on the road!

if ur not looking to keep it then u could give it so a forum member! ha ha


no seriously if u not looking to keep it then sell it for big money, if its rarer than salmon legs then u could be looking at big coin!!

Keep it standard and lock it away carefully for a couple of years until all the rusty mk2's are off the road then make a mint. :smug:

or

Swap it with me for a mk3 and some magical christmas beans. :grin:

Just opened the post and theres a letter from volkswagen  :shocked:,
they say that they can confirm that the paint code is a special one and all the details are correct but they cant confirm that it is an oettinger ,
still its nice to know that vw have got some customer care ,(i was expecting to get fobbed off by them but they have been really helpful :smiley:)

I was expecting loads of replies saying "sod it mod it " but glad to see that we have some respect for standard cars!!

Keep it standard! If u get it lookin like it did the day it rolled out of the factory it'll look infinitely better than any modded one... and it'll be worth a shed load when/if you decide to sell it.
