Mk1 Gti Karmann Cabrio 1983 in White

HI all
I have just managed to get my hands on a car I first drove when i was 19 and always wanted (the bad news is i am 46 now).
Its a mk1 Golf Gti Karmann 1.8 Cabrio in White with a white soft top its done 45k with full history and is in fantastic condition, just a few small thing to sort to  make it A1, however, I have tryed to get more information on this model and an idea of its true value ? can any one give me more information on this limited edition?

Thanks Stubbsy  :dontknow:

Thanks for your welcome I will up load some pictures over the next few days as soon as I have taken them.
One of the few things I need to do is to replace the white soft top there are a few cracks on the first fold but it is 26 years old,  I have found a company to replace it for ?295 unless you can recommend any one else?
I will also be having the wheels repainted, I do believe that everything in the car is original, so with that in mind I would hate to make what I thought was an improvement but in reality it could be a big mistake so if you can guide me on what?s a massive no no then feel free to do so.
Cheers Stubbsy
 

i have found new roofs for 150 and i fitted one the other week took about 3 hours but had no leaks after the sudden down pour of the last fue weeks

Hi Welcome to the forum!

All white cab, nice choice!  

Not sure about the snowflakes, I was originally told it should have those, but then that they were later, around 87 I think. Mines 84.

If your handy you should try having a go yourself. Hubby did mine a few years ago now using an excellent guide on here and its never leaked. Bit of care and a bit of patience. He said he would do another one so it cant have been that bad  

Heres the link

Thanks for that looks great but the bit when you said "Bit of care and a bit of patience??  

We run our own hotel so time is a problem at the moment and I seem to be so shot tempered at the moment I think attempting this would be the wrong thing to do.
The digital clock /display on the instrument panel is also not working is it possible to repair these or just replace?
Anyway thanks for the reply and the link I will Post a few pictures over the next few days business starts to slow down after next week so I will hopefully have some time to spend on this fine motor.
Thanks again Stubbsy
