Hi all, still looking around at the moment but found a mk1 '79 which is a runner for a decent price. The problem is its a five door. I'm just seeking advice, would you buy or not as really I wanted a 3 door? What do you guys reckon to this, it's just such a good price, but wondered if I'd be wasting my time doing it up and selling to fund a 3 door might be an option?

All depends if you want MK1 series 1 or 2 with the series 1 very rare however with series two lots around and if your wanting a 3dr just wait for the right one.

i jumped the gun two years and purchased a 5 door and regretted it the second i payed for it.
Just hang in there for a 3 door like above its a s1 your after you might have to wait but at least your budget gets bigger

Ok will have a think but at £300, runner and a sill only needs replacing which I can do myself I figured it'd be worth it?

£300 sounds like a steal :-)

if it is not the car you want it is not cheap,
act in haste & repent at leisure !
there is a 3 door waiting for you out there!!
be a bit patient it will be worth it

At £300 though I would have it, do up and make better to flog on and have some more cash for the right 3 door. As long as you're not in any rush that is

For £300 id expect a pile of rust.

As would I but there's been a few guys recently posted on here who have got a half decent MK1 for a few hundred quid.

Hi, went to look at it and its in really good nick! Shame it's still a five door but have left it with him to see what the best price he'll take. Otherwise I'll wait for a three door I reckon. Thanks for the advice

from past experience with cars this has to be best , good luck with the search, we were not looking for another car and then the mk1 cab said hi to us so we bought it , it sits well with a 1960 MGA and a 1958 A35 and the every day mk5 TDI GT plenty of choice but prefer the older stuff
