MK1 Diamond Silver Campaign needs a good home

Reluctantly, I must sell my Campaign. This car is complete and has a number of choice upgrades, as mentioned in several threads of mine.

I have just had the rear arches and the inner arches and rear valance properly repaired, in preperation for a full respray.

With the repairs in primer, it sailed through the MOT, in January - the car is currently SORNED.

I have waxoyled inside the rear quarter panels and along the sills.

Folks are welcome to view the car as it stands with the option to buy, or lay down a negotiable deposit and wait for the paint job to be finished (would take about 1 month for a proper job).

As the car stands, I would like ?1,500. With the paintwork completed, it will be worth a lot more.

I have a new green tint windscreen and seal (to be fitted after the respray), and it comes with five MK1 P slots in storage with new Pirelli P6000 tyres and hubcaps.

All the brakes, suspension and gear linkage have been renewed, running ATE 239mm Powerdiscs, Eibach springs and OMP strut braces. The headlights are powered through relays.

The car has covered 162,000 documented miles, and I have serviced it annually. It's had a new cambelt and tensioner, new coolant hoses and radiator, new brake lines in copper and aeroquip brake hoses.

There is also supply of spares that I have collected over the years, which I am now willing to sell off seperately…

Pictures Now Available

The sun came out so I grabbed the opportunity to take these pictures.

I hope the weather this past week hasn't brought anyone too much grief.

As you can see, the rear is still in primer, but the arches have been stonechipped and undersealed, so the gritted roads won't cause too many problems.

As I previously stated, the car is complete, with the proper wheels with caps and the steering wheel in storage.

Please feel free to ask questions…

Amongst the spares I have collected for the car are, which are negotiable in the final deal:

Green Windscreen and seal

Complete clutch and cable
Gearbox for quick exchange purposes

Supersprint centre section and fittings
Urethane engine mountings
Brake shoe springs and caliper slider kits

All the brakes, suspension and gear linkage, cooling and oil systems on the car have been completely overhauled.

I have a box file of receipts and MOT's, original brochures, handbook, tool kit, etc

The car has been my daily driver, although other commitments mean that I can no longer fund the repaint. The repairs to the wheel arches have been expertly carried out and are in protective primer.

I propose that the car is either sold as seen for offers around ?1,500, or a deposit offered which will fund the repaint, either partial (both rear quarters, wing tops and bonnet which are crazed and faded) for ?700, or full respray (windows out) for ?1,800, which is a good price for a proper job.

The repaint will take up to a month to complete, depending on the extent of the job, but a maximum of ?3,600 will make a MK1 Campaign that is as good as the best, and I know there are alot of cars out there that are not quite what they seem.

That is why I am not bothered that the car can be viewed warts and all, because I know it's a good 'un  and I'm proud of it. If it was a rotter I would not have proceeded with the restoration.

PM's are welcome…

Sorry to hijack the post but i`m just down the road from Farnham on the A325 on the way to Borden,whereabouts are you mate as i`v not seen your car around before?

Currently using the car as my daily driver - I did 3,000 miles in it last year, basically because I am not so involved in Motorsport any more due to work commitments and lack of time - I use my camper van mostly because we like to get away, as a family.

That is the reason why I am offering the Campaign for sale, I have a growing family, and the GTI is now really an indulgence. My wife has grown to like power steering and air con, (and to be honest, so have I).

So the Golf and the Touran are going, to fund either a V5 Golf or Passat Estate or Seat Toledo - something that ticks all the boxes from the VW camp.

I will consider selling some of the stuff off seperately, because some folks may not want the M3 crystal rear lights, alcantara steering wheel, or the Supersprint centre exhaust, or the stainless back box that makes it sound so crisp…

It is a genuine October 1983 car with the EW chassis number, and I have a box file overflowing with receipts. The car is fully serviced by myself - a qualified VW Technician, and it saled through it's MOT at the end of January only needing a new rear antiroll bar clamp.

could you send me more pics to patodonnell20005@yahoo.co.uk

My Campaign is re offered for sale, but is now SORNED...

Thanks for all your pm's

Where abouts is farnham?

Farnham is on the Surrey/Hampshire boarder, near Aldershot and Farnborough...

Timski viewed the car and I took him on a short test drive down a bumpy back road - he was impressed enough to offer my asking price, but he had to shift all his MK1 stuff first (giving up his bodywork - he just wanted a good daily driver to smoke around in).

I guess things didn't turn out the way he wanted…

On good advice, the Campaign is going to have a respray...

I note that there are none on ebay at the moment, and the reckoning on here is that prices are beginning to rise...

Be careful of ebay, there have been a LOT of Campaigns that have not hit their reserves of 2-2.5k.
