standard form the G60 should be quicker in a straight line with all the 4wd of the rallye and everything slowing them down, but lets be honest there arent that many rallyes that havn't been tweaked or heavily modified with 20vt's etc

it's highly unlikely any mk2s are mint. there is always something wrong with them.

It's actually really frustrating when a car is said to be mint when it's 15 years old and been driven 120k! :angry:

I love the squareness of the Rallye, it's just such a sexy (METAL!) bodykit!

yea true, i dunno why they only put the G60 in the rallyes tbh, surely something like the 16v limited engine would be better.

The rallye was originally built for the vr6, but VW couldn't finish the VR lump in time to release the rallye so the G60 was used instead

A really nice example of a standard factory spec G60 Edition One for example can fetch anywhere between 4-5k as a rough guide

The Edition One's and syncro's are obviously worth a premium over a standard G60 in the same condition. Its finding them which is now becomming quite a challenge.

In a recent trip to Italy a Royal Blue G60 was parked up abandoned at the side of the road with only 91000km (60'000 miles) with splits and factory leather - I nearly cried.
