can anyone help mk1 golf gti barn find

Just bought a mk1 golf gti reg A857 HUE  trying to find some info on it I know that's its been of the road a long time 1999 I think
thanks
 

Can't help with history but would love to see some pictures

only got one of the number plate at the moment he's getting it ready for me to pick up at the end of the week hopefully, take some then.

What colour?

silver

The reg looks familiar to me but checked some old pics from the early days of the club and can't see it at a meet. No one springs to mind sadly.

Not been taxed since the 1st of May 2000.
Other than that, no other details freely available! 

The last existing link I can find to the original Campaign register is dated 11 October 2004.

Not that it's any use to you as your registration isn't listed but an earlier issue A52 HUE is suggesting date wise at least you've a legit Campaign.

got some info on the car today v.a.g service pack found some history on it up to the 10/10/94 some old tax  disc and service records and receipts date of first reg is 11/10/83 mr m s jones the old ash hill Compton Wolverhampton bought it new from Wolverhampton motor services still got original plates on the car with optional extras b79 430 560 568 707 715 738 750 ?picking it up Friday.

Option codes 707 denote "sales campaign edition" and 750 Pirelli Wheels, so again looks like you have a genuine Campaign model.

the owner has said its a campaign

Here's some photos,  not very good ones!

Sweet. Looks like you have your work cut out mate. Best of luck. You might want to keep us up to date by starting a project thread.
