Why we like our oven tin tops over cabby's
I was sooo hot driving on my lunch that if I had a tin opener I would have made it into a cabby!
I envy all Mk1 cabby owners at this minute in time
so come on, any other tintop drivers wish they could drop the roof in this heat?

all you have to do is open the window.
and you don't look ridiculous in a tin top.

Dubboy, was it the Blue 34K miler from ebay???

Yes, that's the one! There wasn't much of a description and I took a chance on buying without viewing as didn't have time. I saw it yesterday though and am well pleased. Just a couple of minor issues, but by far the best Series 1 Cabby I have seen.

These old immaculate finds do have their own problems though, just sorted the brakes on mine, the fluid was like black sludge, don't think it had been changed for years if ever….. 8O

If you can't choose, have both! In all seriousness though, having one of each and being able to do a back-back comparison means I can usefully add to the debate. Although I need to factor in that the cabby is only a GL Auto, not a GTI. If I had to choose, I'd go for the………………hatchback.
