Hi!
« on: 15 October 2006, 23:26 »
Hi,
    my names mike, 19 from Birmingham. I've just joined the forum and I'm looking to buy a Mk1 gti in the near future.

I'm really into classic minis(got 3 of them), i know quite a bit about them, but not much about golfs, What i wanted to know was, just what sort of things i should look for when buying a Mk1 and around how much i should be looking to spend for a good one?

Thanks
Mike

Thanks for the welcome guys. Yeah, the cooper sport 500 is a very nice car, a friend of mine has one. Myself ive got a 1990 racing green le (in my sig) and im also doing a complete restoration on a 1990 cooper RSP with a 1330 engine in it.

I was looking at the golf as an everyday car, aswell as being a classic.
