For reasons explained in the Displaced FCF forum, I'm having to sell my GTi
Details:
1990 Early Phase 2 Cherry Red (unfaded) 1.6 GTi in very original condition. It is entirely standard in every way except the radio, which has been replaced by a JVC CD Player.
She is in very good and tidy overall condition and has been owned by me for the past three years. She has done 138,000 miles. In my ownership she has led an easy, quiet life, being a weekend fun car, owned and kept as a modern classic and not used as a boy-racer.
MOT is due in September 2008 and Tax in August 2008.
Nearly everything on the car mechanically has been either replaced or totally overhauled, including the engine (one of the sweetest XU5JAs I know) and the rear beam, a very expensive undertaking.
In the last two years the following significant items have been replaced: Clutch, AFM, New OE exhaust complete, cambelt, water pump, heater matrix, radiator, hoses, tyres (Dunlop SP Sport 01), quarter-light rubbers, rear shocks and sandwich mounts. New fuel lines complete, all new brake pipes, new front discs.
Servicing has been carried out diligently and all issues resolved rapidly.
Everything works, including the electric windows and central locking. It is fitted with an approved immobiliser.
Bodily, the car is tidy with no major flaws. It is substantially rust-free but is showing a patina of age and fair use. The tailgate is faded and needs a respray. The rear bumper has a ding in it (prior to my ownership) but I have a good used bumper to fit.
The interior is clean but again shows evidence of fair use. The drivers seat has the usual collapsed bolster. This car is not mint nor concours but is a good, honest example and hides no nasty secrets. It is entirely free of bodges and has always been totally reliable.
The gearbox has a worn 3rd/4th gear syncho, causing the occasional crunch but is fine otherwise.
The car will come with a hoard of various spares.
Viewing by appointment and I am content for it to be subject to any test.
I am open to (sensible) offers. PM me for further details...
