Thanks for all the comments and welcomes, the car i bought was originally on ebay a couple of weeks ago and from south shields. The car that's currently up for sale in cornwall is another press car just two numbers up from mine. From the details i have there were seven original press cars, registrations F238BVV to F245BVV and all were red. I'm sure there would have been G60 and VR6 press cars but these were the original 16V ones.

Hello everyone, I've just joined up to the site after watching it for a few weeks and found some very good information. I've also just bought one of the old press cars this week off ebay. I probably paid too much for it and will also end up spending too much on it but thought what the hell nothing ventured nothing gained. The car came with loads of history including a letter from VW detailing the car with pictures of it being tested on Pendine sands by Jeremy Clarkson - don't know iff that will add or subtract to the value :? Anyway I'll post some pictures up when i get time and keep you posted as to my plans when time & money allow. Don't want to add fuel to the fire as this has been discussed in detail but which exhaust is best for the very early 1.8 16V's as mine will need replacing soon.
