This car has had every Nut, Bolt, Washer, Screw replaced all new or old stock. Car runs amazingly smooth with its Auto gear box and manual choke setup.

Following the restoration was success at a number of car shows (picking up in excess of 25 best in shows) and the Cover and feature in Golf + magazine October 2010.

When i purchased the car it was sitting extremely low and on ugly snowflake alloys so i decided to invest over £1500.00 having it put back original all round with new mounts, springs, struts, steel wheels and caps,carbs cleaned and engine tuned up. If a lower stance is desirable they a set of coilers will fix that and i am sure the VW stock set will fetch a good price as they have only covered a few miles.

Any inspection welcomed and viewings highly recommended, i will be available next weekend for interested bidders to view if they wish.

I am only selling this vehicle due to financial reasons and i will be sorry to see it go.
