Add your details to the list if you qualify

 Hi all…
I was speaking to another member, Roger Squires and the topic came up again. We thought where to post first and it seemed it would only be right to start here.

So here is the criteria for qualifying.

It has to have been owned over 20 years. Not family owned but registered in your name and preferably still road legal.

so if you or someone you know meets the above, lets see how many of us are out there.

Thanks for looking and contributing.

Ill start with mine which is 30 years on 6/11/16 🙂

LOl, I only just qualify myself with 20yrs of Ownership on 22nd February 2016 (it was a birthday present to myself!)

However my wife has owned her's for 23yrs on 13th August 2016, however unfortunately not road legal, as the engine gave up the ghost and I promised her a G60 Engine for it!

Andrew Harris is another ;-)

There's a guy called Steve in Preston, and he's had his since it was 6 months old in 1983.
I haven't seen him for a while, and he's fairly private about ownership and details. It's a red campaign, and it's that good that on a sunny day he can seen with Duraglit inside the tailpipes! He's very particular.

My mother bought mine 22 years ago and I bought it from her 17 years ago (took my Mk1 Scirocco off the road for a restoration so I needed a daily drive ) so I've been servicing and looking after it for 22 years and it lives out side and used daily through out the year and never been restored or welded. Good serving, regular cleaning, checking and treating underneath has paid off.

I know it does not really qualify for this section as it's been in the family but the car is used and abused, not keep in a heated garage and only used on sunny dry days….


1988 Mk1 Golf GTi Cabriolet 1.8cc DX, K-jet. Daily drive. 317,000 miles and counting
1978 Mk1 Scirocco GLS 1.6cc FR, Webber carb. Weekend toy.
