bert mk1 golf pics of in daylight totally standard

Moved this to "Your cars and projects" section mate.

In the daylight that looks good   … only a few rust spots on the doors so for 29 years old that's good!!

And pics of the engine and interior?

Standard is sooo cool!  It's the future!  Is it as solid as it looks?

It looks well maintained mate!!  Engine bay looks really clean  8O … hardly any wedged on dirt!!!  Keep it standard mate  :wink:

Why not?

got no no claims mate and 6 points cheapest qoute is 1800 notes just cant afford that on only 3000 miles a year wont be able to drive cos wont be able to maintain or run it

Keep it in storage in your garage or something until your ready  :dontknow: .  You won't be able to insure anything then mate?  :?

Do the insurance companies still use groups to class cars in, or do they now consider each one on its own individual merits? I guess the thing to do is get insurance on a cheap car, build up a couple of years NCB and not get any more points etc. Also of course, if you're young then getting older will decrease the premium. I thought Mk1 Golf 1.3 would be pretty near the bottom of the group classification, and if not then anything lower is going to be a bit rubbish?

are these rare or something cant find anyone with one that they own or selling or breaking any ideas where or how to find 1 cheers

Nice car mate,

Good to see a clean orignal car

those pics aint of the car after polish tho i compounded and polished bonnet earlier and looked like it had been resprayed
i want to keep this original keep it clean and tidy but how anal do i have to be to show it as it is ?

If you were to sell. How much you want for it? Out of interest ;-)

This question did cross my mind too  :twisted:  :twisted:

Well i asked first. so i got first refusal lol

it looks a good car i hope you can manage to keep it if you sell it you'll only want another one lol

dont know to be honest dont know what its worth ive only owned it for 2 days got centimental value already lol what price would you think was fair even if you wernt to pay it

I think with a good cleanup, a fresh MoT and no mechanical issues, £600-800 is realistic. However if it has no MoT then its as discussed before, £150. So you can see its worth sorting out any little mech gremlins and getting a fresh test on it!

i offerd him £300 as is and he linked it to a car that was advertised at nearly £3k
