I am almost tempted to make a punt on this paperbag There cant be to many of them left on the road and its a slightly oddball 80's car which would go down well at classic car shows.

What ebay car buying folly has tempted you recently?

Park that in the paddock at any motorsport event full of car nuts, and it would get 10 times the interest and photo clicks than any ferrari or lambo.

Remember being at Castle Combe and some guy had a gallardo in the paddock. I was taking a picture, and he looked so smug and proud until he worked out that the car we were all looking at was the mars red mk1 1600 GTi golf parked next to it.

That's what puzzled me. I'm assuming it's a revised air intake...

OK... I'm with you. I can see what you mean about a truly iconic car like the Mk1 GTI, but that's a metro.... with white leather eek Guess it's just not my cup of tea but fair one to those that like them and keep them in good nick smile
