Sorry No…other priorities at the mo :cry:

Unfortunately, one of the things the club doesn't yet have, is an official price guide for cabbys. I've gotten into trouble before for suggesting realistic market values and others have said I'm too low….. Its a case of looking around the "For Sale" section, Auto Trader, eBay, etc to gain an idea of the current prices I guess.

I wish my metal mk1 kept the rain out.  :cry:

These days, you may well find yourself in a minority, if you believe the Mk1OC should only support hatchbacks. There are probably more members with cabbys than hatchbacks.

i like that the club supports all forms of mk1's. from 1.1c to a campaign and even the ragtops. more the merrier. my opinion however, is that a tintop is a better car to enjoy. only given the best advice that i feel to be correct in my opinion. plenty to contradict said opinion, i'm sure.
 still, hairdressers need cars too, i suppose.

As a ball park figure I would guess at around ?1k for the white one and maybe ?1.5 k for the blue one?  But you are coming around to the time when the seasonal buyer is looking, so maybe a little more :dontknow:

I quite like the  "floppy roofed pretenders" as I once saw it written, but if push came to shove, overhead metal would rule.  Nice to have one of each tho

Cheers for the advice

if it's cheap enough that you can move it on easy, then why not. if you like it, keep it. if not, no loss


how smart is your ass? bet it's not smart enough to wipe itself.

Yeah but you know he's right. Tintops are real. Ragtops are pretend.  8O    



(ill keep quiet about being on the lookout for one though.) :roll:

I sold my '88 GTI cabrio at the end of last summer for ?2k It had 151k on it but had just had a new roof, seat bolster etc. Still needed a few bits doing to it though to make it realllly tidy…

Cool cheers guys
