Mk1 1.5 GL
Hi everone…….
Having made the worse mistake of my life 3 years ago In swapping my fantastic Mars Red 1982 Gti with full service history for a Porche Boxster !! I'm back in the fold again… This week I will be picking up a 1982 Mk1 1.5 GL. 67k from new and the same owner for 32 years…. Has 12 months MOT but will need a little TLC
so much looking forward to having a MK1 Again …….
I will post a few pics when I take a few …….
so HELLO!
Jules

So I was very lucky to pick her up for the price of a Med holiday :-)
last owner, an old chap called Micheal had her for 32 years. Only covered 67k miles. Interior is perfect. No parcel shelf, but hoping somebody can help me here - did the 5 door have one?
exterior is spot on bar faded paint and a few 'scabs' and a rust hole on driver wing. Boot is straight from the factory! No rotted wheel well or rusty turrets!!
All in in all a solid car and I'm chuffed to bits to own her now…..
looking forward to brining her to a show or two……
comments welcome :-)

Great colour and yes it would have had a parcel shelf.

Just thought I'd put up a few more pics. First time I've had her out in the daylight after purchase & can't believe the condition….. Drives a dream too… I'm quite impressed how the 1500 chugs along…. One happy bunny

Saw an identical model at a show today so took a picture of the correct parcel shelf for you.

Hi Richard. Thanks for the pics…..
Looks like a rare beast and may take a while to source!
Here's hoping :-)

I had an '82 1.5 GL when I was 19, some 25 ish years ago!! It was black with the same red interior as yours. I liked the way t chugged along too, not a bad engine at all!
That's the only photo I have of it!
Ref the parcel shelf, perhaps you could look to paint or die one? You may have to find a beige one to do that but this may be slightly easier than finding a red one!

Nice find! There is a chap called Andy that breaks mk1s in Bude (a farm in Poughill I recall). Can't be far from you and possibly worth a shout. Sorry I don't have his number anymore but some others on here may know.

Thanks Andy for the ideas around the parcel shelf…..
Yea I know Andy in Bude! He used to have 100's of Golfs, Caddies, Sciroccos but he's shifted most of them now… I may wander down though and see if he still has anything kicking around….
Cheers all
