Mk1 Caddy 16v (UK)

The time has come for me to reluctantly sell my mk1 after 7 years of ownership.
It was originally a 1.6 petrol, I stripped it down to a rolling shell and spent the next 6 years building it back up to what you see now.
I had it on the road for the first time last summer, but it spends most of its time wrapped up in storage at my work. At the moment I cant justify keeping two vw's on the road.

The shell had done 140,000 miles and the mk2 16v donor car had done 111,000 miles. The donor car was a well looked after and clean car and was a shame to take the engine out, but I got it cheap and knew the engine was good.
Starts and runs fine, no knocks or strange sounds, no leaks at all, no smoke, and idles fine. In the caddy it goes very well indeed

It has a few small bits of rust bubbling up in a couple of places, and the bottom of the rear bed is showing signs of surface rust.
I thought I'd be honest and show pictures of it-






The caddy is located in Torbay, Devon.
I will be putting 12 months MOT and 6 months tax on it next week.
The clocks are currently showing 112,000 miles, this might go up slightly if the sun ever comes out

Or px if you have a late T4 TDI 888 special.
