Nice OP. I've been on the look out for a similar spec mk5 GTi (but with much less miles) in Scotland for a few weeks now with no real success ever since my M135i was nicked.
There seemed quite a few about a couple of years ago (last time I looked, then bought the BMW), but those currently about look like fairly used and abused examples..
Sorry to hear that, a shame cars like that are always a target for thieves. There seemed quite a few about a couple of years ago (last time I looked, then bought the BMW), but those currently about look like fairly used and abused examples..
It's true, good condition non-abused MK5s are really getting pretty thin on the ground; plus the huge number that have been ruined by the modding scene. Hopefully they're doing me a favour by making original-spec, looked after ones like mine a little more valuable!
There are good ones out there though and they're worth finding - keep looking!
Great read!
Recently bought a Mk5 GTi myself (weekend car for the wife and I). 5-door, 07 plate, 49k miles, full VW service history, finished in Shadow Blue.
Plans are much like yourself, keep it original and restore to its former glory! Maybe start a thread myself...
Keep up the good work!
