Hi,

Looking for a Red GTI convertible, late as possible
Looking to spend about 3000, sound reasonable?

Posted something in the wanted section

Cheers

Welcome and good luck with the search ;-)

Good luck with the search  

Welcome Paul. Thanks for joining up

£3k is a good budget - you may just squeeze in to a nice, red, Sportline model for that although you may have to find a few more quid for one.

Good luck with your search and keep us posted

Hi,

I've found my new toy, went over the budget a bit, just got to organise to pick it up

1992 Red GTi convertible, with grey leather interior

Will post pics once I've picked it up

Cheers

Nice one Paul, looking forward to the pics

Welcome Paul, I see in your profile it says your in Berkshire.  There is a Berkshire meet on the 3rd Wednesday of the month at the White Hart in Holyport so feel free to pop down.

Did you go to Dubs at the Park last Sunday?

Hi,

I'm in Hampshire, but Berks is looks like the closest region, only just down the road.  Haven't picked the car up yet but will try to get to the meet once I've got it.  

Went to Dubs in the Park last week, first VW show for some years, enjoyed wandering round, helped make my mind up about what to buy!

Turned up in a Landrover so had to park  on the 'far side'

Cheers

Paul;
 

We did manage to get most of the mk1 together at DATP, the next show that a few of the Berkshire guys is going to is Stonor park on the 2nd.
