Hello from west midlands

hi im steven from redditch. im 17 and joined the site because im looking for a mk1 golf as my first car. ive always wanted one and now i can. my theory booked and so's my practical so its all good.   hope everyones alright

Hello and welcome aboard! good choice as a first car, dont go mad with the engine
size, as insurance will be a nightmare, go for a 1.1 etc.. you can always sell it
later or upgrade the engine to a bigger one later.

Good luck with the hunt, let us know if you get one!

Good for you Steven, small engine mk1's would make a brilliant first car.

My first car I brought myself when I was 17 was a mk1 GTI, few years ago now :cry:

my sons got his practical test next month, he's only gone & brought a FFFFFFFFord. :doh:

anyway enough of my problems, good luck with your search

welcome aboard

hope you find one

yeah i know. for 1.1 insurance is still around 2000 which is poor. ideally im looking for a 3 door 1.1 golf c. around 1983? but i cant seem to find any no runners are no problem as my dad is a mechanic. dont suppose you know any for sale?
