On my way over here from clublupo

as much as I love my Lupo; it just has too many gears, curves and computer bits for me to be truly satisfied.

I today laid the deposit down on my third car and my first Mk1 a 75/76 cross over LS model with full history and low mileage.

Quite frankly I'm really very excited and I just had to tell someone and who better than you lot

Hi

I just joined recently aswell.
got any pics of the mk1 then? I will be putting some up of mine soon

Matt

I bet your excited!  Be sure to put some pics up.

Hi there,

Welcome!  

thanks guys


yes it certainly is, they are a trick touch, just everything about the car ticks the right boxes for me

its such a great find

very nice mate, where in the sw are you

Wellington,Somerset

Great car! Doesn't look like there's much to tidy up. Nice interior/exterior colour combo. Very retro! :wink:

it really is an absolute diamond

just a few bits of rot to attend to but that just all adds to the character

Welcome to the site!

Lovely looking motor, can we get some interior pics to drool over..!?

Saw this advertised recently over on edition38 and I must say it is really nice !

welcome  

Very nice!  8)

Welcome to the site, and to MK1s!

when your on the road pop over to eastlyng wouldnt mind a look at your golf, buy you a pint

Looks like a small amount of work to do on the rear arch but apart from that looks great.

yeh the underside, bay and boot are really very good

sills need doing before the MOT

finally received the car today, its out on the drive and i cant stop looking at it

if i was you id just be pressing the air ride switches to make it go up and down! haha

how much did you pay for it in the end? i thought 5k was a wee bit pricey…..

just so you get an idea of the interior


the Airride is a nice stealth install the switches are hidden and so is the tank and compressor, the gauge sits nicely in next to the original analog clock

the final price is to never be spoken out loud

so damn chuffed with this car

my Father however was not impressed he thinks he can find a 76 golf for less than ?400

if he does, I'll make sure he gets two

nice car seen this advertised and was tempted myself :wink:
