Newbie here after buying a GTi today! I won it at auction and it is in really good condition. It's a 83 Y 1.8 Gti in Mars Red. My first car was a 1.6 Black GTi on an X reg and I have lusted after one since selling all those years ago. It shares the same designer (Giugario) as my MAserati 3200 too and will sit nicely in the garage with it
I am hoping to bring it to shows once it has has a major detail and overhaul and hope to also meet others in the Berkshire area. Anyone know the car? APH xxY

This was at the car fest auction I assume.
If it is the car I think it is I looked at buying this car about 5 years ago when it had been stood for a while. It was down in kent. At the time the fuel pump wasn't working so it wasn't running. The guy selling it said it had a factory roof but it was a glass roof in it when I got there. he was positive it was factory but it was probably fitted by the dealer. it also had a proper big old lock in the rear quarter by the drivers door for an 80's style burglar alarm. If i remember correctly it had had a replacement rear panel as well.
I got speaking with the guy through this site that eventually bought it and recommissioned it. It may have gone through a couple of hands since then because I know he was wanting to sell it. i think he was from Wales but Ireland seems rings a bell for some reason

It sold at Auction in 2012 for £7250 and I paid significantly less than that so I effectively stole it!
