GTI Inters - Concours Mk1 Golf

Hi Everyone,

I saw this at Gti International, Did anyone manage to get some engine bay pics?? 8)

Thats really nice… SOOO clean..

Think i prefer my unrestored minter though.. the odd scratch and paint chip adds to the charm i think. That is possibly going a bit far.

its nice to see one as clean but i dont think it gets driven,,,,

so whats the point. Looked really nice though.

It was literally like brand new. Most likely he got other mk1's to drive so keeps that one concours

just seems a bit sad. if it was mine i'd take it out now and again.

thats one great car but should of gone in too the modded mk1s as if i was judgeing it would not of won due to it being less standed them most mk1s on here how can a car be concorse when its been fully rebluit ??? it can as its to good

that is lovely.

It would win any show…

look at the level of work that has went in to it. Its better than concours - why get all annoyed over the wrong warning sticker or a wrong shade of paint or whatever else - its sweat and blood id say in that car! 8)

and its all for everyone to enjoy have a good look around!

quality! 8)

yes your bang onthats why it should nt in concours because its to good and not standed concours means how it lefted the factory and if you have ever been to a ford show ull see that the concours boys take things to a diffent levle and theres not many dubs if any that would sack up with them guys trust me i know we have a mk1 mex that won everything many years ago

i've never been to "cough" ford show  

only kidding

i know what you mean… its horses for courses isn't it…

its just the folk who say - ahh thats pointless why dont they drive it…

he probably will after doin a few shows and letting everyone else enjoy having a peek round it….

Fantastic looking car.

But in my opinion what is the point in owning a car as good as that if you are not going to use it.

x2

Not gonna slate this car, but I kinda made a rule for myself:



Cars should be judged when they're moving.

The guy has spent a lot of time preserving a classic and should be applauded for it.

Pity few people comment without talking to the owner about his motivations, etc.

I am sure it goes as well as any other stock GTi.

I'll happily comment, just like others have and give my thoughts, after all this is a forum..

As to applauding for preserving the classic and spending a lot of time doing it, then I applaud every single MK1 owner, isnt that why we are all here on this forum, we are all in our own ways preserving classics some have large bank accounts and win trophy's and other have nothing and scrape by..

however fair play to Suan and Noddy for doing it, I personally wouldnt keep a car to look at and take to shows just to show it off, I'd rather enjoy it by driving it, but each to their own…

x2 I wasnt slating the people for the fact they dont drive it, im happy that they have done a great job on it, just feel that it should be allowed to have a drive now and again.

Top job though

Maybe he has another Mk1 to drive, maybe he just wants to sit back and enjoy looking at what he has created and show others a great example. Who knows? Just hypothesising on the sentiment of why he is assumed not to drive it much.

I guess it is like painting (as a hobby), do you paint for other people's pleasure, because you enjoy painting, or both?

true…

personally i hate painting

All I know is that if I had enough money I would buy that car and take him for a spin, Cars are made to be driven!! And I secretly think the car want to be driven. lol  :mrgreen: Athough I would love to put that car in my living room and just stare at it!! I am secretly jeolouse.

maybe your all just jelous  

Was fantastic I thought, I got a few pictues but none of the engine bay!

Lets be fair guys, that car is just awesome, driven or not it is absolutely immaculate!
