Please read . . . Newbie !

hi there,

I have recently acquired a 1983 A reg Mk1 golf 1.5 GX AUTO
after 3 years of asking an old boy at work, as i desperatly wanted to restore it fully to its former glory,  
then when i opened the folder i found the following details :

78.000 miles
2 owners (Mother then son)
Full service history
Spotless Interior
 Campaign model
it has the Sports seats, Twin headlight arrangement, larger front spoiler etc

It includes a headed letter from Personal Export Sales V.A.G (united kingdom) limited containg the following:

"The Golf GX Automatic is not being imported for general tax paid sales, because the factory could not off enough supply, you will find that dealers are offering GL auto's alongside GX manuals, this does not give you a problem, merely the advantage of probably being the only GX Auto owner in the british isles . . . . . . . . . can you remember the car was an Export Demonstrator that you bought from me, Demonstrator is the key work in this statement, because the Export division is not supposed to supply tax paid cars, however the rule is acceptably waived when dealing with personal friends and relations"        
(31st August 1983)  

Please note i have removed the silver trim so i could clean behind!!

hi mate, haha its was a phrase lol, i know he did say to me that he could have sold it to you or advertised it, i am real glad to have got it though cant wait till i finish tidying it up, just a shame about the rear drivers side door being slightly pushed in but still its immaculate inside and solid.
