A few questions

[KarlM]

Right, i'm going retro with my next car and i dont think the mk3 will cut it - so i was decided on a golf. But then i've seen a couple of Audi 50s/Mk1s on the continent that i REALLY like the look of.

So can someone give me a bit more info about these cars, how much are they worth, major faults and the best place to find one!


thanks in advance

Faults... Rust, rust and more rust! Oh, and s**t brakes. Bits are getting hard to find now.
Best cars are the ones that the little old lady down the road has and hasn't used for years, they crop up occasionally

Karl - See this one on eBay:

I've seen this particular car last year, and it's in timewarp condition. Not perfect, but a very sound basis for a project.

Cheers

Exactly the same model as mine! Good condition too, the guy has been trying to sell it for a while, must have decided on ebay now. Low mileage too, thought mine was barely run-in at 53k!

Ditto what the others say about s**t brakes and rust, great little cars though in decent condition. I've got a few original sales brochures for 77 and 79 Polo's if anyone is interested by the way?

Didn't you get that blue Derby that you're currently working on for free Vic???

Hmm Maybe - ahh, but it was a load of s**t... It's getting much better now though. It even has a drivers side sill on now! Might even be ready for inters 2040.
