    Stay tuned for progress updates as we bring this classic beauty back to life. 🚗

    Awesome car, I've had a few, and I wished I'd never sold them. Such an easy car to own and live with, most things you can fix yourself and you don't need a laptop and a degree in computing to find out stuff. Just hearing it start warmed my heart, I do miss a Golf Gti in my life.

    Love the colour. My dad and I 84 on a b plate, and an 88 on an f plate. He had a black run out 16 valve in black but didn’t like the 16 valve, he preferred the 8 valve as it felt more unburstable. His 1988 8 valve went with 176,000 miles on the clock, used as his daily for over ten years and very often driven hard. He once drove it to the French alps four up, and said the car was the best he’d had doing the same journey, doing 36 to the gallon on the motorway, and a riot on the mountain road.

      Thank you! A lot of people prefer the 8v to drive. Lovely history you have with them. They’re fab cars!

      @@ameliaautomotive Ever seen the Citystormer version ? and fun fact the large Tesla drive unit will fit in the front of the mk3 which is just a rebodied mk2... I`ve also seen them powered by Prius motors...

    The epitome of a hot hatch! Look forwards to seeing what you do with it next year 😄

    The exterior is important but in the end all you want is to drive it, so if it's in a good mechanical condition, then drive it all day long. I prefeer standard or as long as you refit the standard part, like an exhaust system or headlights maybe:)

    Will be keeping a keen eye on this as its probably in a similar state as my mk2 GTI 16V

    And i don't think leaving it under a tree/bush is a good idea 🤔

      I know it needs a cover really. Can’t part it anywhere else unfortunately!
