used to be you'd have to walk round a show hunting for mk1's (ok a bit of exagiration) now they're every where. big test will be tatton this year. a show that i haven't been to for 3 years. i'f theres lots of mk1's there (and not just on the owners club stand) then i'd say yes they are becoming more popular.

I agree & they might be creating a negative image for the car
Define negative image?

2-3 years ago, it was more mk2,3,4 golfs witht he odd mk1 dotted about
As novocaine said, its now mk1 golfs everywhere at shows, plus the mk1 Polo also geting more popular - i think its trends that are changing - give it another couple of years and any Very early VAG cars, mk1 polo's throught o mk1 passats, early audi 50's, 80's and 100's will soon be popping up more and more…

They do seem popular with the lads, earlier this week I went into a local motor factors for a small part for my car,,,when the lad came back with it, he refused payment as a mk1 Gti was a proper car…a nice gesture and obviously will return there when I need more expensive parts.

Today is no different, i would of thought that the majority of gti owners are middle aged.

Not sure, on the basis that mine was the only mk1 at a recent classic car show amongst thousands of other cars.
which is my point
Its becoming a more scene car than a classic car - not a problem, just its focus is switching from the traditional classic car shows to the VW shows - still the same number of them about, but in different ways.. Moreare getting modified tho
