Any more pics of your Mk1 cabrio?

Hi Nick!

On the wrong PC at the moment but I'll put some up in my archive tomorrow!

Golf fan or foe?

Michael

Definite Mk1 fan (after my first love of Pug 205's)

Mk1 GTI red ETT 739Y best car I ever had, killed by being run over by a bus

Could have been resurected but insurance co wouldn't let me so is somewhere down south still registered, would like it back if anyone comes across it!

Caber

Mk2 all the way!

Cheers,

So this would be a bad time to re confess to ownership of a MK3.5 Cabrio then ?

Nooooo, the mk3 is where it all went lardy and wrong, mk2 is just a bit of a manly bulking up, stronger and better, filling out in it's teenage years

This is my last beastie She's dead now, but bits of her will live on through the magic of eBay

They made only "people's cars". it's in the name "Volkswagen"

So no VW for me......

I drive an Audi

I loved my Mk1. I did a lot of work to it (was a wreck when i got it). BMW dash (never again! nightmare to get it all working), 16V engine, rear discs (waste of time imho), Merc Cosworth interior (looked fantastic), single wiper etc etc. i spent loads and got next to nothing back for it when i sold it on. loved it all the same.

Ok guys, confession time - I'm the saddo who said my W reg MK1 was "the best car I've driven" on The Cars' the Star - that was my 10 seconds of fame.
Actually it was/is true - for an 8 valve 1600cc engine it really flew - even took the back seat out and used it as a high speed delivery van when I worked in the rag trade.
Bought it from a mate who worked at a VW company for £5k new then sold it 2 years and 76k later for £3.5k.
