Mk1 Golf GTI 1.6

---

The original 'hot hatch'
Bought off a mate who used to road rally it, it came with sump guard, 6 point roll cage etc, which were taken off & been sold. Body-wise it's rough around the edges - going in all the usual places. Needed a couple of wings, rear arches & some bubbling sorting in a couple of places & a  bit at the windscreen corner - standard mk1 stuff. Interior is very good bar the usual drivers seat bolster and the carpet where it was cut for the cage.  The duff fuel tank sender was replaced as were  the rear shocks and springs as one was snapped and I got sea-sick going over bumps . One front wing was replaced with a new one, 1 cv joint and a seized rear wheel cylinder.  I also changed the grill for a quad headlight one. It's a very quick car for a 1600

Other than that it needed nothing else in the past 12 months apart from regular servicing.
Sold it after a year to a mate who is going to restore it, as, although the insurance was cheap (Footman James), I managed to get hold of a very cheap bug that cost £20 insurance and was tax exempt as a daily driver (only do about 8 miles a day in the car).
