MK2 Golf GTI Bought today

[jackpe]

My ex flatmate had a Golf GTI, MK2, red 8V, second owner. Really straight unmolested car, properly looked after, full service history, all MOTs, 86,000 documented miles, he'd owned it 18 years. Interior perfect. I always told him to let me know before selling. Well the car's MOT expired in October (but always passed before) and he could not be bothered with the selling rigmarole so he's letting me have it for £300. An absolute bargain in my view. Never driven one though..what they like?

Can anyone advise on a good specialist in West London or Surrey, close to Putney so i can get it serviced, MOT'd and so on?

Pretty dusty but will polish up a treat!

Put the right wheels back on though - those look terrible.
Otherwise great buy.

I quite like them... you got a pic of the originals? not sure what they look like.

Ha, where’s the link.. be good to see it again. I think I sold it on for £1750 years ago or mAybe £2300? Can’t remember. But I spend around £700 on it in the end, maybe more
