MK2 Golf or similar Wanted

[Coog]

Looking a project for winter.

I'd really love a small bumper, 3dr non GTI needing mechanical work but decent on the body but I'll not be too fussy as long as it's not going to need significant welding. Can be collected with a transporter but it does need to be rolling and complete.

PM please.

Was a GTI popped up on that Northern Retros' page on facebook earlier

This one here is appealing to me, lhd might put you off though:

Yeah that American one is something different than the norm. There's a driver in the various classifieds for 800 squid.

Think Cormac81 will agree but it's getting nearly impossible to find a decent small bumper Golf of any description I toyed with selling mine because it would sit for weeks on end without being used, but I can't seem to bring myself to do it! I'll ask about and see if any one can dig something up for you. Any preference on colour and spec?

 

[Coog]

Aye I've plenty of time to sit & wait for something to come up hence the thread now. Problem is the 'scene tax' and the prices are starting to go a bit crazy... I sold a good clean wee one a while back for a few hundred which I really should have held on to but didn't.

No preferences on colour/spec. Something basic would be ideal. Essentially I'm just looking a fairly easy project to tinker with.

 

[purplea4T]

Yeah, scene tax on the mk2's especially early ones is going the same way as mk1's now. Hard to credit that a few years ago no one would have looked twice at a type 19 base model, now the scensters cant seem to get enough of them, more so across the water. If you are at castlewellan on Saturday you are more than welcome to poke all round my one.

I would love another but scene tax his killing them i wos buying good condition mot'd 1's a couple of years back for like £150.... Mite no of a wee mk2 driver that needs a bit of work... Ill find out if its still there for u

 

[Coog]

OK thanks matty

Have to be non-GTI Craig? If you get a decent GTI now the way they're going you'll be doubling your money in 3 years by just keeping it clean!

 

[Coog]

No a GTI would be grand too but tbh I'm not willing to spend the extra a decent GTI would be. Figured I'd have more chance at finding a cheap, basic one that's not a complete dose.

May also consider a Polo of similar vintage.

It was hard enough over here to get an early small bumper, plenty of big bumpers about which is to be expected as theyre newer. I dont know if its scene tax really that is pushing prices, its just the way popular older cars go and have seen this from experience with Novas. Not too long ago a few hundred would have you got one but any decent example will be over a grand.

Theres a 5 door big bumper non gti automatic on gtini btw but that probably is the opposite of everything you have been looking

 

[Coog]

I'm fine with auto but not the rest. Will take a look anyway, thanks

 

[davey-dimples]

Coog the lesson here is to hold on to the mk3 until said scene tax kicks in for them

 

[Coog]

lol it's going nowhere!

lol superb! I'll keep an eye on the Members Cars forum

This was about a fortnight ago. I'm still looking albeit less enthusiastically than before... probably just going to upgrade the MX5 instead as the MK2's are just too expensive these days.

[Coog]
