What's my golf worth?

Hi I have a 1983 mk1 golf Gti tin top in Lhasa green,it's in good condition for its age,no welding needed underneath,just a couple of minor rust bubbles on the one wing,the other wing has been painted badly,it's totally original apart from being lowered around 40mm on dampers and springs,it starts on the button and drives good,could do with a service (which it will be getting next month) interiors very good,also standard,has had a repair on the drivers seat bolster in mk3 material I think but looks good
Few receipts,but do have a few pics of when it was new as I recently got in touch with the first owner.
9 months mot
2 months tax
105000 miles
Advisories on last mot was:
1 tyre close to legal limit
Inherent cv joints
Any opinions welcome  :wink:

Pics can be found on page 7 of mk1 golf chat,thread title is, 2 more days can't wait!

Did you only get it in June? How much did you pay?

I paid 1700 for one very similar, lots and lots of history though and tidy bodywork (needs minimal work if any)

Just as a pointer

It owes me around 1300 as I did a px,the rest of the bodywork is great,with a lick of paint it would look the nuts  8)
Forgot to mention though that its a cat d as it was stolen off the previous owners drive then kerbed and left as the muppets obviously couldn't handle it,didn't put me off though as its a very straight original Gti   

I paid £1500 for my rot box, which needs a full resto lol. Yours has got be £2000+  IMO

I went to a sliverstone auction at the NEC last month,
This MK1 gti sold for 7280.00 + 15% buyers commision, It was pretty mint but far from concours

I was hoping to pick it up for 4k ish but there was alot of money in the room!



Rich.

if it's a cat d it worth even less then you think it's worth

problem with it is a cat d will put alot of buyers off

Looks lovely and original that one. Seems the value of these are going up and up. Saw one sell on eBay recently for 13k. 8O

As much as some is willing to pay for it.

 I won't be breaking this one mark its too clean,might re shell it or turn it into a track car  :dontknow:

The cat 'D' on a car this old wouldn't bother me at all. Its obviously still straight and working ok at it's age. Unsure of the price though as there only worth what someone will pay, get it on ebay.

Never what its worth bit what someone wants to pay.
Mine imo is worth £2k but in the real world il be lucky if I get £1500
