Completely Original Mk1 Golf 1.8 GTi

This car is completely original and in excellent condition! Its black, 1983 (Y plate) and has done 130k miles. It has a full service history with loads and loads of receipts.

The car is completely standard and has been very well looked after. I've just put 6 months tax on it and it has an MoT until January 2008.

Dojo Dubber can verify the quality of my car, its an absolute classic, completely unmolested and in very good condition. Still has original Blaupunkt radio/cassete which still works. Original VW key for the glove box (a nice touch) and excellent interior allround, the on board computer is in full working order.

The only modification I have made was getting a CAT1 alarm and immobiliser professionally fitted as I was forced to by my insurance company.

The only negative things to say about it is that there is a small chip in the paint of the sunroof at the front  and there is no mat on the floor in the boot.

I am planning on selling it at GTi International on the Sunday most likely, but am open to serious offers before hand if you are really interested and can't wait.

I will be very sad to see this car go   :cry:   it runs like a dream and holds a lot of sentimental value for me so please only contact me if you are serious about Mk1's and not if your planning on ragging it to death as its a true classic.

I'll post some pictures soon. If you have any questions please dont hesitate to ask!

Many thanks,
Ben

Yeah unfortunately, its a sad sad day indeed.

I've had enough of working in the city behind a desk staring at screen all day long and I'm going travelling. I thought about keeping it in storage until I get back but honestly I'm not sure I'll ever come back, or at least how long I'll be (storage isn't free!) and I'll need the money…

You never know I may end up buying another one where ever I end up! If I do I'll be posting it on here straight away.

Its the best car I've ever had, takes me right back to my childhood when my mum and dad had one. The smells, the sounds, everything. Its going to be horrible watching someone else drive away in it.   :cry:

At least get my name right it?s Dojodubber with no spaces, can?t believe your selling took so long to get you back in one mate. As Bensley has said I can vouch for the stunning original condition of this car. Completely untouched and as VW would have intended. I can?t remember but I think the alarm installation cost ?360? Ben has loved and cared for this car like a baby and I?m sure the first to view it will see that. Ben mate, get some new decent pics of it up and think twice before you let this little beauty go!

Thanks guys,

Shortly probably means August  

seems like yo know him too Mal

Ha ha ha, you two are so funny  

I happen to be very busy I'll have you know, what with a new job, trying to find a new house and organise a rally and a ski season all at the same time! The only plus side of being so busy is that I dont have much time to go out which helps when your trying to save money because I'm skint!

Pictures shortly I promise although, it might have to be next weekend at this rate as this week is looking pretty hectic already!

Oh to be an unemployed bum like Do Jo Dubber……have I spelt your name right this time?

I took some pictures yesterday to show you all, however the internet is broken at my house so I figured I'd put them on a CD and upload them from work….but…my work PC's will not recognise either my USD memory stick or a CD in the CD Drive, talk about being too anal about stuff. Stupid Japanese bank….

So I currently have no way of uploading them. I will take the disc to a mates house and try and do it from there one night this week.

I wanted to take a few shots to post on here and ended up taking 85! It just so looked so beautiful all shiny in the sun…..I dont want it to go really   :cry:     very upsetting.

Will let you all know if it goes tonight, what a sad way to start the week….

She will be getting more care then you could have ever imagined…

So I guess that means we will never see the pics then? Sounds familiar

MY CAR IS GONE!!!!!!!!!!

I was so bummed last night it was ridiculous, my sister and her boyfriend (fellow Mk1 owners) took me back to their house, made me dinner and tried to cheer me up, a fried of mine came over to talk about holidays but that didn't work either……the only slight light at the end of the tunnel is that I've decided I want another one!

I'm thinking a white one this time, like the classic original one we saw at Worthersea Gurv, remember that one, quietly parked by the side of the road with all the Europop muppets looking at crazy slammed pearlescent monstrosities while it quietly sat there and stole the show.

This is on the top of my list of things to do upon my return to the UK in ???? years, whenever it is that I get back. Either that or I'll hunt one down where ever I end up.

More immediately, I will address the lack of photo's, even though its sold, I still want to put some up here to remember it by   :cry:    i'll get on with fixing the internet at home…..

You should'nt have sold it you plum! sod going on holiday!
