Hi neil,

It sound good if only for the one owner & 40 k FSH. My mk1 is in great nick but I have no history for the car and I am the 11th owner!!!.This doesn't bother me as I know how good the car is but it will affect my resale value. As for the fuel neck I think there is one on Ebay at the moment.

If you don't go for it I know someone who is looking for a nice mk1 so send me the details.

i have a golf mk 4 gti and i would love to go back to the old school days of a mk1. they r getting rare to find a nice example but i think in todays world abs, airbags are a must . but the mk 1 has so much history i still want one

Fuel filler neck from Euro Car parts is about 70-80 quid.

Piece of piss to do it yourself aswell.

May also be worth replacing the hose between the filler nexk and the tank.. costs about 10 quid from memory.
