PICTURES FROM GTI INTERNATIONAL

Looks a great day and some really nice cars. Really like the Alpine White MK I on ATS Cups  

Hopefully by the end of the summer it will be back from the bodyshop and I can crack on and get involved with more shows etc.

Who's the chuff is this????

Lovely!

A crying shame no-one drives it like it was intended though…

That's Rajan's now ex motorsport Mk1  8)

Was this the one in it's 'Rally' guise at Gaydon last year???

yep, had to check reg from the pic in the calender :wink:

Looks much better than when it was in it's rally clothes. Isn't it one of the Oldest remaining GTI's in the world or am I talking tosh??

it did say it was one of only 3 left what are that old 8O there goes my plan of getting one, even if I did have the money

the car is absolutely mint and in my eyes would be irreplaceable.

cars look fantastic so gutted i could'nt make it, never seen that swallowtail befor any ideas who it belongs to???

great pics

well ****** off i wasnt there            

Hi all
Went down today What a nice day.
Sorry I missed you guys but every thing was so spread out we walked around all day and still did nt see half of it

Bought another mk1     
The red one with the 16v conversion
Amoment of madness never mind the wife was next to me egging me on  :? I have a feeling its going to cost me more than just the car  :dontknow:
See you all at the next meet :mrgreen:

does anyone have any more details or pics of that maroon swallowtail, please would love to know more they are just damme right cool :wink:

I'm sure Dubboy would be happy to give you some info on it :wink:

It's not a genuine swallowtail, its just had the panel welded in. The car used to be a Diamond Silver '76 model.

Nope, the car used to be at shows 1-2 years ago in its original state.

It is a beautiful early example, never seen one that old before.  8O

Wouldn't mind seeing a few more pictures of that car!

Incidentally, is that an early version of the GTI badge?

I think that's a "prototype" badge. I've seen pictures of it in some of my older mk1 books. Trust Rajan to find one!

Good to hear from you again Chris!

Cheers,

Drew.
