That's look very interesting…
could you not ask them to try and turn the engine over by hand (19mm socket and wrench on the crank nut is all that's needed)
Might change the value of the car….

Let us know how you get on as love to see more.  :thumbs:

Ok then if the price is right…

I recon there is less GLS Mk1 Golfs about than GTi's..

I bet that engine will turn, unless it was put away with an issue like blown head gasket, looks like stored in nice dry condition and everything intact.
Good luck!

It's hard to say without knowing more.
From what I can make out from the pictures but it could be dirt not rust… rear arch crusty, bottoms of A pillars, front scuttle panel, front edge and rear edge of bonnet, not seen underneath so might need work underneath and expensive if around the rear beam, will need new brakes, probably brake lines, possibly fuel tank, fuel lines, all the rubber hoses etc, not sure if the engine runs..

I guess any where between £500 - £1000?
I'm sure someone else might have another idea on price…

Wow, I think you need to go out and buy a lottery ticket if your luck is running like this!

That's a thermal switch, I think it's wired to the choke. There's actually one on german ebay right now, part number 056919369B. Still need the lower sensor though part 056131851, or use the one you have

have a look at this:

Great find. I'm always amazed how these things keep turning up.
Are you sure The GTI is a no go?!! :lol:

That looks good for a barn find, how much was it in the end?

You should be able to register the car as an historic vehicle then no road tax or MOT needed but I would take it for an MOT check to make sure it's all ok when you are ready to drive it.

You need to take the log book to a post office and get a MOT exempt form filled in then you can tax it for the road.

Just done this for my 1978 Mk1 Scirocco.  :thumbs:

I parted with £1400 for it, which was the asking price  £200 for the transport.

This freebie scared the life out of me

Good deal if the slightly earlier small bumper and manual box '78 sold at Buxton recently is any guide,

Wow what a beauty

What a price 😲😲😲

Mines not as good and mileage is 27k. No service history but there isn't much reason to doubt it but I'm no expert and not 100% what to look for.

I just see a car I love and buy it….
