an investment oppurtunity?

[AdamB]

Just having a glance through the classifieds in "The Golf", it would appear that the later mk1 Cabs like the Sportline and Rivage, are really starting to increase in value.
There are a few going for between ?4500 and ?4750, that are a couple of years older than mine. I saw a non-running sportline for 2500 euros a couple of months back, there is a 1990 clipper (non-GTI) for private sale at ?3200, and I recently saw a cab on a forecourt for ?5995. Even 20 year old cab in good nick are fetching close to 2 grand
I paid ?3500 for mine a couple of years back, so have they really started to go up in value, or is it wishful thinking?

  Lets hope all cabby's are going up in price like Mk1 gti's have.

Would you pay more for a Clipper or a gti Cabby?  Just interested?

[AdamB]

even clippers have gone up in value, but the kudos of a GTI is always a factor. A GTI with the clipper kit on it looks best of all though.

  Yay gunna have both a gti with a clipper kit

I don't think there is any doubt about mine being worth more than I paid for it

Rich, you got one hell of a bargain with yours mate, but I dont reckon you can put a price the amount of love and work you put into your cars.
