early mk2 1.3 CL

Featured Replies

Really don't want to do this, but after some theiving smackheads have broken into it and "dirtied" my car I can't bear to look at it anymore, let alone drive it, so I want rid.

I've put a lot of hard work into it so far, prepping it ready for a respray and I wouldn't be selling up so soon if this hadn't have happened.

Anyways, heres the spec...

Early quarter light 5 door 1.3 CL 4 speed on an A reg

201k

MOT till mid November (will check on the exact date late)

Tax till end of the month

Weber carb upgrade with manual choke

Period brown/beige interior

Lowered 60mm on Apex springs and Koni shocks

MK3 GL steels with outer trims and centre caps

All good michelin tyres

Yellow headlights

Original AA badge on grille

16v splitter

lots of stickerage

98% mint shell

New cambelt, cam seal, crank seal, fuel pump, clutch, all within a few thousand miles, I serviced it about 2 weeks ago.

Only bad bits I guess are the fact it obviously needs a respray, already half prepped, needs a pair of front wings, however if I source a pair before its sold they shall go with it, and the clock on the dash changes its time overnight!

This car is 100% reliable, pull the choke out and it starts 1st time everytime even when freezing cold. Don't let the mileage fool you, this was owned by an elderly couple most of its life, and has been well looked after, any test drive will prove this. No knocks, bangs, drives and stops straight, in fact its one of the best mk2s I've ever had the privelage of owning, pulls well, isn't bad on fuel despite being a 4 speed, manages between 35-40mpgs. Only thing with the engine is due to the mileage it burns a bit of oil.

It would easily pass another MOT with flying colours, and would see another 100k without a doubt. Never been welded and underneath is mint.

I'm not sure what to price it at, but I'l start at £600ono

Only recent pics I have are during the prep work

I must point out that all trims, badges and rear bumper are present, I have today refitted the golf cl badge and rear arch trim. Oh and the cambelt cover is present too, I removed it as I was going to paint that, the rocker cover, and airbox.

Also forgot to mention this has a rare rear valance, look where the exhaust is and compare it with any other non gti and youl see what i mean. Also has a rare f/r speaker fader on the dash
