I agree. But it is ghastly. I'd take it out and keep it safe, but use Mota-Lita for actual driving.

That Golf rocks!!

I love the stock steel wheels on what is a serious performance/Q car/Sleeper car. They add a dimension of mystery way above the 'must have' spokey dokey alloys on everything brigade.

Digifant EFI too well put together car and that one looks a peach

It stays, yes the wheel's ghastly but it'll be a conversation piece if nothing else. All part of the back story

I draw the line at re-instating the (removed by a P.O.) single Stromberg carb though (that is stored away, un-fitted).

Thanks for your comments, the car is all original and covered 26k from new, she really is lovely.

Thanks for your comments, it makes all the hard work keeping it up in top condition worth it when other poeple appreciate it.

Lovely car, brings back memories, I had one brand new in black back in 1988 but with optional BBS alloys, and my wife had a Jade green 1986 8 valve with the same pressed steel wheels.

Some last photos of this old girl before she departs for her new home on the continent. Yes, sold the Mexico and she's off to Holland on Thursday.

Isn't this the car you painstakingly renovated over the last couple of years? How do you feel about selling it?

[TR4man]

Be interesting to see what you move on to after something like a Maserati Mexico.

I just feel very proud and lucky to have owned it for the last few years, and proud that it's back on the road.

Happily, life goes on and it's time for a new direction

I'm also looking to move on my Aston Martin Vantage and consolidate with something modern, that will free up garage space to start looking at building up my TVR 3000M if I have any pennies left!

Nice approach. I loved reading about your Maserati, it reminded me so much of what I did with my DB MkIII over the last 10 years. I don't think I could sell that though.

Cheers, it was such a nice car to work on too, very enjoyable. The next little project is my 3000m TVR, to be built around the brand new chassis that's been swinging above the Mexico for the last few years...

Lovely. Can't beat a nice GTI.

[theadman]

That's a great car in the best colour. Photographed in its UK spiritual home (Volkswagen UK HQ) as well!

My very first company car order with Volkswagen UK in late 1982 was a Mk1 GTI in Lhasa. When it turned up it was a Scirocco GTI in Baikal Blue. If only everything in life.......

Still hanker after a Mk1 GTI.
