rado mc 0 Posted November 20, 2012 (edited) Been waiting on the 'Other VAG' link, but just stumbled in here and others putting in cars so, hey ho here goes if its ok..? *More pics added 1990 Golf GTI 8v Genuine Big bumper edition £1450 ono. 138k Tornado red. 8/9months MOT (straight through), no tax but this can be put on. With two corrado's and a family estate, there's little or no time/funds for this great reliable car. Apart from the alloys and the head unit. This car has been kept totally original throughout unlike many others. No tuning, lowering or holes in parcel shelf even! Perfect to either keep this way or put your own stamp on from fresh. Engine and gear box are sound, no smoking etc at all. Oil is clean and coolant isn't brown. Interior is clean and tidy, re-bolstered seats, no sagging or tears and have been valeted prior to fitting. Its non PAS model so you either love or hate it. The extra feel for the road is good though imo and the car handles just great. Two keys (both the same) for all locks and ignition. Everything works that is electric ie central locking, instruments etc. Manual windows and tilt and slide sunroof. Fitted in last few years: brake pipes/lines all 4 shocks/springs full exhaust discs/pads all round. rear callipers front suspension wings/bushes alternator and Bosch battery! Bad bits, small rust spot on passenger door and again just above rear licence plate. Also the paint being original has faded in areas on the roof as is the norm in this colour. But comes up fine with simple colour restore and a waxing etc. So, not bad at all for 22 yrs old back to basics classic really that's unmolested. Any questions just fire away or if you know anyone who maybe interested, cheers in advance. Andy.

carrots 1 Posted November 20, 2012 looks a nice straight car,the wheels are not my cup of tea tho Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rado mc 0 Posted November 20, 2012 Cheers, it's the 2nd one I've had its nice and true, can't be too many that are still original and not looking too tired. The alloys were on when I got it but they never bothered me too much, nice and easy for cleaning tho :) Did have some original BBS wheels lined up for it but knew I was going to sell soon so it'd be money spent I simply wouldn't get back or have time to enjoy.

JimVR6 10 Posted November 22, 2012 I like it. Think I'll go to one of these next when I get bored of the Corrado. Did have a guy recently who also had a red 1990 who was interested in a swap for the VR6 but he seems to have disappeared. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rado mc 0 Posted November 23, 2012 Well I'd like to swap for a VR6 but with two rado's already as well as the family wagon I doubt I'd be able to explain myself. If it was a 5 door GTI I'd be more than tempted to keep it and rid myself of the money pit Mitsubishi daily, as its much quicker, nimbler and economical!
