Golf Rallye
Having sold my Golf Rallye last year, I realised the error of my ways and bought myself another one today!
Perfectly restored to totally original condition, really looking forward to having it delivered next week.
( apologies my recent posts seem to be mainly non Porsche related! )

Re: Golf Rallye
Awesome, that would be a boyhood dream fulfilled to own one of those.
Remember a local garage had one for sale years ago for around £5k, before I could get to look at it it was gone.

Can't beat a bit of G Lader. We had a baby G40 for a few years, wish we'd been able to keep it.
Re: Golf Rallye
how do they feel on the road these days ? Obviulsy modern hatches have redefined quick, but is the rallye a fun drive like a GTI ?

Re: Golf Rallye
Good looking in a Germanic way! Always fancied one but heard some parts were very expensive and hard to find so skipped.

Steve doesn't drive them, he gets bored with them the day after he's bought it and starts looking for something else...

Re: Golf Rallye
I've had three Rallyes, great cars to drive - prefer them to the Lancia Delta Integrale I had, similar FWD / Rally derived but German build quality. Built in 1989 it's easy to forget that they're thirty years old ! I'm sure the new hot hatches are far more proficient and efficient ( a bit like a new 911 ) but not as interesting to drive and certainly don't have the character that goes with the older cars. I'm quite into "hot hatch" style cars that are a bit quirky, I also have an Alfa SZ Zagato, an Abarth 595 ( modern)and a classic Fiat 500 ( built to Abarth spec') and in the past have had ( as mentioned) Integrale / Clio V6's etc. I think there's only about 65 Rallyes registered in the UK and I'm inclined to think that when it comes to originality my latest buy is up there with the best !yoda wrote:Good looking in a Germanic way!

By comparison with similar cars of the era ( Cosworth Escort / Sierra, Integrale etc ) they seem to be undervalued. Great cars !

I seem to have a bit of a stock pile at the moment, a problem I never thought I'd have when I bought my first car, a Morris Minor for fifteen quid some years ago !

Re: Golf Rallye
Yes great cars. My Rallye was that colour. Don't think its the same one though as mine had the Recaros and rear headrests. Every now an then I think of seeking out another but fear my memories may be rose tinted...
