1980 GTI Series One

Hi guys and girls

It's been quite sometime since I had a MK1.  I've been a member of the club since June 2005, but not owned a MK1 in at least 8 years.

Ok, managed to get my hands on a series one GTI in black.  Rather think my heart ruled my head on this one, as it doesn't start and no MOT.  I suspect ieither an ignition problem or possibly even the fuel pump. 

However, I have to say that the old girl is extremely original and only 7 owners from new.  She was also featured in the 5 generations of Golf book.  The previous owner is Steven Bryn, who I believe is a member here.  He used to take it to Tatton Park, so some of you may have seen it there.

In the last 3-4 years she's had a respray, although not the best at all.  I gave her a good clean up today and noticed a lot of micro blisters on the roof.  I do plan to get her fully restored however.

Here are a few pics… 4EA1CFE5-F98D-4C66-BBB2-42998F52F2C1.jpeg
