Description
Stunning VW MK1 Golf Karmann Clipper Convertible 1. 8 with fully operational blue mohair electric roof, comes with black tonneau cover. The car has been dry stored, and is solid throughout. Immaculate grey and blue interior with Sony cd player. The car comes with a folder of all monies spent since 2007. Everything works as it should and it has a long MOT until Sept 19.
As a former master tech, I bought this wee beaut as a project in the spring. I drove it 400 miles back to Scotland from Bristol without a hiccup, prior to lifting a spanner. I've carried out extensive mechanical repairs since to bring it up to scratch, stripping the engine and replacing parts required (details below). I can provide the HPI check from that time. This is a 26 year old car so isn't perfect however it is mechanically sound and finished to a high standard and is an excellent example of a driving classic with no need to spend any more money.
The car was a Cat C write off (car repairable but insurers deemed uneconomical, which is common in cars this age) over 10 years ago, All work completed to a high standard and no problems insuring now
