June 6th Auction
Nice 'rocco GTi. If it was a Golf it would be x4 the estimate;

Restored Cabrio GTi, not sure about how they've restored to seats and I'd have painted the sill strengthners black but £4500 est looks reasonable if you like white.

Later carb Cabrio, no V5 and been molested over the years (de-clippered?, 3rd party alloys, single grill) not in description but not MOT'd for 5 years and 135k miles, think £1500-£2000 est a bit optimistic?

or a £7000 non injection XR3, these Fords make Golfs look cheap

The trouble with doing nothing is that you never know when you are finished.

It's very white isn't it? As you, say painting the sills helps them disappear a bit more
Think you're right about being de-clippered. Looks nice though, I think I'd rather have it than the white one.
That XR3 I remember these when they were £300 bangers that no one wanted cos you could get an XR3i for a couple of quid more. Wow. I must be getting old

If they had restored them with the original material, same as the door cards or even left them it would probably be worth a bit more.
Aquafresh springs to mind though!!
I love the chocolate hobnob Rocco though and looks like a bargain
