2.1L 8V 0-60 6secs ¼ mile 15 secs.
Fast road / track car.
Summery: I spent 6 months finding this Mk1. I looked at over 15 cars till I found a really solid and honestly described car. Hand built and restored in Plymouth by an engineer son and his electrician father.
Don't be put off by it being an 8v, it is very, very quick and will keep pulling off the 120mph clocks! BUT has loads of low down torque, is simple, looks standard and is cheaper to insure. (£340 classic car Ins, fully comp with agreed value of £3,500.)
The brakes are very quick, firm and responsive with none of the usual poor braking of the Mk1 Golf. The gear change is perfect. With a recent clutch and new handbrake cables.
Flown through the last 3 MOT with NO advisories.
Please note the car now has the original rear and headlights lights fitted and chrome grill. There is also a fuel pump/cooling fan override switches for track days.   





   EDIT - rolling road done straight after running in with standard cam. Now it's had a few miles under it's belt
and with a decent cam I should imagine its up a few horses? Certainly feels very strong to drive. I would get it rolling roaded again and guess I will if it does not sell with these numbers
