Car was sat up in 2010 for about 10 years due to failing its MOT.
When purchasing the car in 2020 my intial plan was to use the car for parts but one thing led to another and this is now the car what you see today.

- Full working sunroof, seal also replaced and does not leak.
There is probably loads of stuff I’ve missed out so if you really are interested I would highly recommend viewing the car and coming out on a test drive.
I’ve driven the car to countless shows all over the country. Been round the track at Goodwood and also took part in a hill climb at shelsey Walsh, lost count of how many comments and thumbs up I get on the road ,
I’ve have been told countless times that it’s the nicest mk2 people have ever seen and yes I’m biased but I really have to agree .
Asking price is backed up by a agreed valuation through Lancaster insurance of 25k. Will increase in September once recaros seats have been added and the valuation reviewed to around £26-27k
Full build thread consisting of over 800 images .
Car is located in South Wales CF44
In zero rush to sell . I’ve built this car myself and I’ve come to terms with the fact I enjoy the build process so much so it’s time to start something new.
