whats the history of it, and is it bog standard?

It was one of those dream finds - "one little old lady owner" - literally. It was wheeled out for MOTs and that was it. It had done about 8 miles in the last 4 years which can be good and bad.
I had 2 new front wings put on it 'cos they were doing that MK1 Golf rust thing and it's had a new clutch.
Apart from that, it is bog standard.

AbfMk1 - You have a Golf and Anglia too? Any pics?
The colour is weird. Open the tailgate and there is an original sticker stipulating that it is "Manilla Green". However, when it was in the bodyshop having the front wings done they showed me 3 separate colour swatches that were supposedly Manilla Green and none of them matched the car. I thought maybe the green had faded a little in the sun but the colour is the same throughout - even in the boot under the spare wheel! So I persuaded the guys at the bodyshop to experiment to try and get it to match - and fair play, they didn't do a bad job - more yellow needed than the official instructions but what colour this makes the car heaven only knows.
Hairyarse - it had 22K on it when I bought it. It now has 26K

Watson - I may have found your Golf but not you. Was yours the yellow '79?
Posted

Yep thats mine. Found yours and went back several times during the day hoping to find you. By the way, your car looks even better in the metal. 8) See you at Stonor.

Seems like the show's going to be bigger than I thought. I've been stuck in Class 14 or something…
