Should be available Saturday all being well, but if not then it'll be until I find a new vehicle which could be anytime!...Anyway, regardless, heres a description.
1981 Golf GLS, 11 months MOT, 1 month tax. Bought it 2 years back as a replacement of my ghia as a daily driver. It's a fantastic car which has never let me down but once I get a van I'll have nowhere to keep it and it'll not get much use sadly. In the last 12 months it's had:
- New Clutch
- 4 new tyres
- New exhaust backbox (the front section was replaced soon before I bought it so no worries there either)
- Lowered 40mm
- Bosch battery
- New Discs, Pads, Shoes & drums
Plus a load of other stuff I can't think off the top of my head.
Few crusty bits on the bodywork, mainly the passenger side rear arch but I've tidied this up a bit to remove sharp edges so it'll get through an MOT no probs. Drivers side rear quarter slightly dinted after an accident with a gippo caravan (don't ask) but would push out from the inside. Filler neck is solid too. Fully hammerited & waxoyled underneath and it's near enough spotless when its been washed down there anyway! Solid as a rock. Spare wheel well and inner arches are immaculate and all the strut tops are rock solid. Comes with a set of German plates which I removed last week after a £30 fine (bastards) but I'll chuck em in to whoever buys them.
Engine is spot on, fully serviced it last month - drives fantastically, smooth, quiet and very nippy! And it'll sit quite happily at 90, on a private road of course but it'll go faster than that as well... No nasty tappety noises either which is common on Mk1s. Logbook says 1.5, cylinder head says 1.6 so I'd imagine it's been changed on the logbook for *ahem* tax reasons. Interior is virtually mint bar a cig burn (not mine
) on the drivers seat. Rest is spot on with minimal wear, even on the seat bolsters which is again common in MK1s. All the leccy works, heaters, heated rear screen & wipers etc, everything.
Don't let appearances put you off, this is a superb solid car thats never once let me down. Spray it up nice or leave it as is and scare children away, the choice is yours!!! Looking for £675 ono, any questions please ask. Andy
Couple of old pics, I'll take some new ones tomorrow. Wheels are now painted black and it'll come with unsmoked rear lights:
