Hi all,
I'm a Mk1 virgin. Just bought my first which is an x reg Cabrio GLi. Cost me ?400 with a year's ticket and 6 month's tax. The body work is sound and the engine's only done 100K (or so it says). The hood has a small tear in it but nothing major. Came with the whole GTI kit, i.e. extra guages, bucket seats, four headlights, etc, etc.
I reckon I've got a pretty good deal. What do you all reckon?

Hello and welcome - sounds like you got yourself a bit of a bargain there. Would have thought from your descriprion is worth at least ?800+, what colour is it?
Cheers

Hey there.
Nice to see some more early cabriolets. Sounds like you got a good deal there. In comparison I paid over ?1000 for my 1983 'A' reg cabriolet with 7 months MOT and 2 months tax. It was low milage (55,000) with history to back it up as well. I still think I paid too much though, but I wouldn't change it for the world!!
Welcome to the club!
