Couple of unloved hot hatches

At that age, won’t the Golf be the 2.0 with 115 brake horse (LOL!).
Could well be the 1.8T as I having nothing but contempt for VAG so my knowledge is very poor.

I had a V5 version of that as a company car for a short while and it was rather nice - made a lovely noise - it was no hot hatch though.

I'm going to nick those pics for the ordinary abandoned cars thread on GG....

On the subject of dirty cars...

Apart from it being off the road for nearly 10 years.
That's the latest I have ever seen a W202 registered, production finished in July 2000. Most of the last ones were W with the odd straggler making it onto an X plate.

Wow, that second one's a good spot - not only is it UK-regd (or appears to be) but the owner in Turin has obviously imported some UK council wheelie bins as well.

Look at the price of them, some are priced the same as a nice MK5 GTi. For some strange reason they have a cult following.
