We had a scare on the way home….I suddenly lost half of my gears..luckily I was about half a mile from Germania in Newport…a quick call from them to a nearby garage, another couple of miles driving in what I approximate to be 4th gear (!) and the fault was quickly diagnosed as a loose gear linkage - phew! A couple of cable ties and a fiver changed hands and we were back on the road with all gears active!
There are a few things I need to get repaired / replaced so no doubt I'll be back asking for some advice

Open the boot and the big cross member that runs from side to side should have a sticker on it. That will have the paint code on it if it's still there.
But yep inca blau/Inka Blau Quartette model. Also can be on an yellow tab in the engine bay on some cars LK5T paint code, only available for 1990 IIRC.
Nicceeee!!
Hoods with holes a No No. Water and moisture in and the holes tend to get bigger, plus a weak point for tea leafs..

Nice purchase. Congrats on getting home in one piece. Welcome to MK1 ownership. Sounds like you have quite a rare cabby
Rare? in what way?

Very nice, and that looks like the Sugar Loaf in the background?
