My MK2 was registered in April 84, with a glass sunroof & had a bigger cam than a standard 8v (which was factory fitted, shown in the spec sheet)

I did have an 84 A reg in my posession up until recently. It only had a single exhaust cut-out (not a double one half blanked) and even had the mk1 style side decals!

[moonsta]

would post a picture if i knew how to............. ;-(

mew,you said you couldn't justify buying the jetta.........not at £137:00??? hope you all boil this summer!!! check out my fedback on ebay (same name) if you don't believe me dude

It wasn't so much the price, it was where it was and the fact that i have 2 Golfs at the moment anyway! Admittidly, i did expect it to go for more than that, was very surprised when i saw the finishing price. You definitely got yourself a bargain there!
