Who has done this to buy a car?
I went back later in my own mk1 and knocked the door with a view to getting the poor thing as another project.
No one home so I've left a note With my number
Seems a huge shame to see it looking so neglected.
Non sunroof, red, x reg, 90% complete.
How many folks here have been successful in buying a mk1 this way.?

Will give it a couple of weeks and try knocking again if I don't hear from them.

We both lived in a very, very up market Village in Hampshire, on a river and not far from the M3 and London (one hour)
As an experiment he wrote a hand written letter using real ink to ten properties and on top quality paper.
Hand addressed and popped them through the letter box.
He left a fake name and a real P.O Box number thinking that no one would reply.
Well guess?
Seven replied ask how much was he willing to offer.
Two people that he did NOT write to, wrote to him asking how much he was willing to pay for their House.
I know that four owners kept writing for months even though he wrote back saying he'd changed his mind or he had bought something else.
He had no plans at the start to buy any but ended up buying two and made a small fortune in the end!
These were by no means cheap properties but it just goes to show what you can get if you do it write.
Not suggesting for one minute you go running for the parchment paper, quill and ink pot every time you see a MK1 in someones drive way!
