I've never driven a MK1 before - bought for the other half as a Summer car, going to be interesting driving back from Kent - no performance, no power steering, keep fit windows :D

They're fun to drive on short journeys, looks like a rare Coco Chanel ltd edition too.

 

Is it a 1.8 K-Jet engine?

Another quality motor for the stable Andy.

Apparently it is a Coco Chanel edition, they all came with blue hoods and it is a 1.8 K-Jet

Looks good! How much did you pick that up for if you don't mind me asking?

 

(I'm asking as have a mate trying to sell his)

[Andy665 0]

I paid £1700, including 6 months tax, 12 months MOT, full car cover, the stereo, FVWSH and four brand new tyres

Looks like a bargain there Andy.

 

Like I said earlier they're fun to drive and the K-Jet injection is so much nicer to drive than any Digifant injected car.

 

I remember driving a Sportline cabbie (essentially the same car) years ago from near Carlisle back to the Midlands, loved every minute of it.

Despite having a soft top it was very quiet, pretty responsive engine too.

I know, however I'd rather have a mint non-original in terior than a tired looking original one

V5 has it marked as one - am not bothered if it is or not tbh, just saw it as a nice clean car

Looks like you've picked up a bargain there Andy. :wink:

think you'll be pleasantly suprised with how nippy and fun it is to drive once you get behind the wheel...

 

I still miss my MKI GTI even now I've got my 'rado G60 sorted nicely... Just so much more "chuckable" than the 'rado...
