Hello... Just bought my first MK1!

Just thought i would say hello. Not all that new to VWs but this is my first MK1. Absolutly loving it! The MK4 hasnt moved for a week… lol

Bought a White 1980 1600 GTI, Small Back lights and i think its Mint.

I havnt even had a chance to wash her yet but when i do ill take some new pics and post them up for you. For now here are the pics from Ebay.









Enjoy!

Welcome. That looks gorgeous. Can't believe how clean and sweet that engine looks does it run sweet. You must be made up for yourself!!!

She runs perfect! 87k Genuine miles backed up with the service history.(Which is always nice) A little bit tappety but ive been told thats ok and pretty normal? I still cant believe the noise @ 3-4k RPM…

I'm itching to have a go in a 1.6 i've heard they're lovely and smooth. Sounds like you got yourself a bargain.

Well im not too sure about the Bargain bit. I went quite a bit over my target. It seemed every other colour but white was Sub 2.5k! Just the way it goes i spose…

Hi Wez and welcome to the club.

This was the one from Future Classics if I'm not mistaken?? originally owned by a member of the forces in France???

Looks stunning and a white series 1 GTI in the uk is a very rare thing.

What other Dubs you had??

Hello and welcome to the site.
Thats a lovely car, I was watching that with interest, looks really good in the photos bet its even better in the flesh.
The engines are abit noisey by modern standards and do produce an induction type roar when pressed hard over 3000 :twisted:
Enjoy it and i look forward to seeing this summer at the shows 8)

looks as if you could do with these

Hi guys thanks for the comments. Yeah funnily enough it did belong to a guy in the forces and he lived in france!

Future classics? Where have i seen that before…?

The only Dubs ive had, and still got are below. Apart from a Polo but that is my Girlfriends so cant really call that mine.  :wink:

Wez

Cheers! Yeah thats was the one… A bit over my limit but it ticked all the boxes!  :mrgreen:

Wez

I thought that was a good price for what is a pretty rare car.

Nice one thank you!!!!!   Your the first person to tell me that. lol My mates dont quite get the whole MK1 thing and think ive wasted my money. lol  

Still im more than happy!  8)

BaltiPie you mentioned about Future Classics. Isnt that a TV program??

Hi wez

It is the same car.

The guy you bought it from (Paul from Bristol??) has a website called Future classic cars. It had been up for sale on there for about a month or so and sometimes he'll sell via ebay.

If you look your car is still on there.

Ah i got ya…Cheers. Although for a Minute there i thought i had a famous car!! lol

Wez, looks a lovely car mate and when I first saw it I was getting all these idea's about loans.

I also think you got it for good money and if looked after and kept the way it is, can only appreciate in value.

Cheers, dont worry i will be looking after her. A couple minor things to replace but all in good time.

Wez

She looks fantastic Wez, congrats on the purchase you must be chuffed. I reckon in the current climate you got it at a decent price.
