Silver Mk1 180 with 5.5k miles ...

Interesting but will need a lot doing to make it truly usable.

I disagree - to keep it as original as possible would be the thing to do with it and just leave it alone.

We've talked before on here about whether the cars could become classics and rise in value. The only way that would ever happen would be to leave alone and this is as good an original, low mileage car as I've ever seen come up and if there are any cars out there to at least retain some value - that's it - but only in my opinion if it was left alone.

Nice x-power exhaust would go well.
Had one on my mk1 hatch (again sold to Phil) it was such a good fit and a nice sound.
That way it would have an original spec exhaust too.


My mk2 is far to gone to be worth much 😂😂

I wasn't talking about modifying it. I was talking about brake hoses, probably coolant hoses, tyres etc... not to mention cambelts, engine oil and filter, coolant, brake fluid, PAS fluid, gearbox oil etc..

Sorry then my friend - my bad.

All serviced and driveable would be reasonable ....
