Buy It!
Thats worth £1300 of anyones money. It's quite obviously been well looked after and not in need of much at all.
Body work sounds like an easy fix and once the wheels are refurbed that's gonna be a very tidy motor. :smiley:

Thanks for that,I didnt know if the miles were a tad high for a valver, do they take the mileage as well as the 8v`s? I know the gearbox`s tend to take more abuse and my last 16v I had to take off the box for a rebuild due to the old rivets in the diff coming adrift which is a weak point and that had only done 104k .Dont think the guy will budge that much on price but trying my luck by a few quid will see what happens cheers.. :smiley:

If it's been looked after properly, then don't worry about the miles. Mine has 165k on it but has a folder full of receipts. The engine is a diamond and runs like new. I would definately view it if i were looking for one and see what it's like in the flesh. Good price i think, even better if you can knock it down a bit.
Oh, one thing i would be interested in finding out is what the milage was on when it last had the cam belt changed as i know they should be done every 60 - 80 thousand miles. :smiley:

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

Nice looking car that mate, you could certainly do a lot worse than that for your money. As said the miles although up a bit arent a issue what matters is the body, if its solid your onto a winner for that money  :wink:

Well just bought the mk2 she`s a cracker there are only a couple of minor dings on the sides of the car, no rust anwhere apart from wiper blank  usual mk2 places all spot on and no sign at all of a respray  in the past,underside nice and clean no underseal been scraped off the jacking points to allow the dreaded tin worm in,alloys are sound just a few small scuffs around the edges no oxidisation at all even has the black bolt covers still in place,no squeaks from the interior at all and drives really sweet.Does sound funny though when you got to buy a "new" car that has 178k on it..Was a lot better than I imagined so thanks again chaps for your input paid £1100 for her in the end..
