Alex you jammy f****r :D

Some kids like me would die for a GTi and there's people like you with 2 and two mk3s. You should be ashamed of yourself.

Lol,but nah that one looks in amazing condition, your dad must be very pleased!

Damn im good,knew it was that one.Not being big headed but it reminds me of my own alittle.Although mine has 13,000 miles more when i picked it up completely untouched,1 elderly owner from new,full VW dealership history,garaged.It just excited me from the other beaten up GTI's i had viewed so i had to have it.Did your dad manage to knock him down abit?.Thing is i think it's worth spending the extra on a minter 100% worth it in my opinion.

Hope he's pleasd with it.

Wow! Thats quite a find, I thought I had done well finding a 54K one in the summer, puts me to shame lol. Looks spotless!

One question though, are those leather door cards with a cloth interior or just black? I thought they all came with red ones if you didnt have leather seats.

Not a penny lol - its one of those impossible to price cars, seeing as its 10 years old yet still so new.

Oh definately mate - he loves it!

Its one of the final models - late 51, so it doesnt have the red cloth lining. its a black cloth instead.

Lovely,i think the real examples are difficult to price,shame the owner i bought mine off had done her research :( .Whats your dads view on it?,staying OEM or a few little touches to it?.Worth keeping it completely OEM as there is a severe lack of them on the market at the moment especially with such history/mileage.
