Campaigns came in a limited variety of colours. These are Mars Red, Alpine White, Schwartz Black, Diamond Silver, Helios (Dark)Blue and Lhasa Green, the last three being metallic. A small minority of campaigns were available in Atlas Grey, normally considered a mk2 Golf colour.
Do you know of one?

If a car's in great condition but doesn't have an MoT, it seems suspicious. Either the seller doesn't want to sell (in which case, the price could be inflated too), or its less than mechanically perfect under the skin. I'd make MoT a condition of the sale, offering to pay the test fee for him pre-sale so he doesn't have to slash out. If it passes, then all well & good. If it passes with advisories, or fails, use this as a negotiating point. If the seller genuinely wants to sell but is simply too disorganised to MoT it, then use the lack of MoT as a negotiating point!

At nearly ?4K though it seems well over the mint Campaign price. Also the lack of an MOT seems a bit odd for someone wanting top dollar for a car. If you are not worried about originality then you might be better off getting a salvageable Campaign in a less popular colour and having it restored and resprayed in Atlas grey - ?4K would go a long way towards getting that.
If you get a white, black or silver Campaign the interior would be correct for the Atlas grey as I am sure they had the grey stripe interior?
Atlas Grey is one of my favourite VW colours, and I think is one of those truly "timeless" metallic colours - isn't it still available on the latest Mk5 as a colour?
Check it over very carefully and be suspicious of any big gaps in the paperwork history - for the money he is asking it should be as near to concours as you can get. The colour is rare on a Campaign, but I don't think its more than a few hundred quid rare if you get my drift….

he's missing the top stripe isn't he?? Which could mean a respray, which is surely going to de-value the car considering he's selling it as a rare colour???
A respray, if done well, wouldn't necessarily devalue a car. If it were an outstandingly low mileage, original car, with very little wear or signs of the ravages of time, and it had a few paint imperfections, it would be potentially worth more without a respray. But if its generally worn, but had all the areas attended to (like respray, and other items) then it would be better to have had a recent one than not!

Anyway, I thought the Atlas Grey GTI should have a black, not silver, lower stripe. Can anyone confirm?
