Hiya !!
Have finally got round to joining ! I've owned my Golf Mark 1 GTi from new ! I actually drove it out of the Dovercourt showroom in St.John's Wood on 18th February 1983 and still remember the excitement and thrill it gave me; something I still experience today when I drive it. I am not an expert or a mechanic and so have always had it serviced by VAG dealers; I still have the original service schedule booklet with all the dealers stamps for every year !! It's part of the family now - and I couldn't bear to part with it - silly I know ! It's not been modified in any way; the body, engine and interior are all original together with the following optional extras:
Black metallic paint (yes! it was an optional extra in those days !) green tint glass, sun-roof, twin head-lamp with washers and 12-year under seal warranty !!! 3-door/1800 DX engine. It's still in very good condition - although would probably benefit from some expert attention in some areas ;-) Well, that's about all !
Jeff.
PS have tried to post a pic - but it doesn't seem to work ! (I use a Mac g4 !!)
