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…
