Don't know if this has done the rounds before but who's had their mk1 the longest? There must be a series 1 owner somewhere out there from new?
I've only had mine 13 years.

There was a thread a while back. A few have had from new.
I've had the GTI 15 years now. Run MK1s or MK1 based cars (Jetta) since @1986 so nearly 30 years…

The trouble with doing nothing is that you never know when you are finished.

I bought mine off the original owner.
Ive Still got the original log book. He'd had it from new in 79 and I bought it in 2013, so best part of 34 for Peter

We have had ours for 32 years, from new.
Last time this did the rounds Superworm won by about 3months, his was also a 1 owner.
Unfortunately he died a while ago and his car has been sold on. So can anyone else beat 32 years?

I'm up to 14 years with mine, but there's been many others before her! Actual mk1 GTI ownership started nearly 20 years ago with a Black '81 GTI.
I'm humbled by some of the other owners and the length of time they've had their cars.

Only just over 3 years but with all the bad luck mines got with people crashing into it and VW dealers who paint like Stevie Wonder sings, it feels more like a life time!
