buying a good mk1 gti

Hi I have just joined and want to buy a good condition mk1 gti. Where do I get one as I thought there would be a classified section on the website but there isn't.
Pistonheads and autotrader don't really have good ones
thanks

Hi and welcome!

There is a classified section - here's the one for MK1's - http://vwgolfmk1.org.uk/forum/index.php?page=forumview&id=cars-for-sale_2

It's right near the bottom of the forum index/front page.

Have a good look around, there's still quite a lot of decent ones about.

What are you after? Standard, modified, tintop, cabby….?

Let us know what you need help with and good luck with the search

Hello mate and welcome along to the forum. Good luck with the GTI hunt

Hi Andy - thanks for the link. I am looking for ideally a late mk1 gti campaign with very little modification and in v good condition. Either red or black preferably. Any ideas?

Car and classic website is a good place to look as well mate. Pistonheads, eBay and here too.

More will come up for sale when the sun comes out and the covers come off

If your after a decent one then be prepared for a long wait for the right one to come up.

Decent ones aren't being let go so often these days.

No problem

Car and Classic is good, plus Classic Cars for Sale UK | Classifieds for Vintage Cars and of course keep an eye on Piston Heads and ebay.

As mentioned, not many coming up for sale now - there is a tidy looking red Gti on PH from memory although it's an early small light version

Good luck with your search

Dick Lovett have a pristine low mileage white one for sale if you have the cash.

Hi. Thanks for tip about dick Lovett. I spoke to them but don't seem to have one. Do you remember where in their organisation you saw it? Thanks

This is on ebay looks clean enough to me??

Oh, looks like it might have been sold.

They had it in the Bristol showroom when my friend sold his car to them in January. I have a few pics with it in the background and I noticed it was on Pistonheads last week for around £6k I think. Obviously some playboy bought it with his pocket money.

Looks like that one is sold as well.
(According to their website)

Yes all sold. Thanks for the help. I shall keep looking

The white one from 4 star classics is off to Japan.

The last one they sold was a silver campaign and that's now gone to Australia.

Shows where the money is I guess…….not here!
