FPR862V - 1979 MK1 Golf

This was a light green MK1 Golf that belonged to my friends grandmother since new in 1979. Sold in Weymouth in 2003, wondering if it is still around.

Car was a 5dr 1300, and a light green small rear light model.  Lovely and original, but rusty front wings…

dont spose you know the registration do you mate?

I've just heard that it was reported as scrapped on 05/03/2004.  RIP to the green low-mileage MK1

How did you find out the status of it Howard ?
I'd be interested to know the whereabouts of past 'family members' too :roll:
