I think it's because of two things.
Firstly it's a bit of market correction as even very nice ones have been under valued in favor of tin tops for years.
Secondly supply because the extreme high prices of tin tops is eroding the market overall as potential buyers opt for in theory the affordable option.
As an example I'll use mine, now I'm not saying what I paid for it back in 2013 but it was a fair price.
Now if other than doing basic jobs to keep it up to gether (no extras at all) if I was to advertise it today looking at market prices I would have to put a price on it of more than double what I paid.
But there is a third factor and that is buyers are far more likely to dig deeper into their pockets for a real original car than a modded one.
Buying a generally modded Mk1 and getting back to standard is difficult and expensive!
Just my opinion of course. ☺️

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk just checking (G.C) when you say generally modded, my golf was originally a 1.1 now a g60 , looks standard actually had Diesel badge on it. I’ve since put Gti badges and the vinyl Gti stripes plus a set of pirelli ps to be fitted when their tidied, how off putting do you reckon it is if I was to try and sell it? Having originally been a lowly 1.1

If he sells it and keeps the money, I have a .038, and a .045 issue with that besides he lives at home.
