Whats the ultimate Mk1?
Whats the ulimate mk1?
Being fairly new to the mk1 having spent nearly 20yrs with air cool (and still going!) and other VW contraptions, I have been wondering what the ultimate mk 1 may be?
Stock? Modded?
Year? Early or late?
Engine?
UK or Import?
Colour?
Cabrio or Tin Top?
Whats your opinion? 8)

It's probably different for everyone, but personally I prefer a GTI over non-GTI and a standard car over a modified car (the retro Kamei build is definitely an exception to this!). So my ultimate mk1 would be either a race build like the Kamei or a very early GTI. Colour wise, anything but red because it ages to badly. Being in the UK I prefer UK RHD of course.
Saying that there are loads of very nice custom mk1s out there, it's an impossible question really. Everyone's likes are slightly different. I don't think there is a mk1 that stands out as very much more desirable than others (like the 21 window samba might in the type 2 world).

It isn't.
Its a question that's asking for your opinion, which you gave, and I thank you for that.

Ah the 16s, how could I forget that! A great rare car indeed, a contender for the ultimate mk1. Does the Porsche mk1 even qualify? Very cool but really a VW or a 928 in disguise.

Mars Red Series 1 GTI 4 speed, the original and still the best.
And in restoring one! Can't wait to finish it and get driving it!

Ultimate for me and i did once have plans to do it. tintop, mars red, standard looking body apart from a set of wheels but lots going on underneath, ie turbo, four wheel drive etc.
