Hello all this is my first time visiting this site. i have been restoring my 83 mk1 golf for over 4 years now and almost completed. having to make make my mind up to sell on my beloved car to replace with a 912. and having spent over £32000 building my golf show car i hope to be able to claw back some money to help buying a 912.

great site thanks rob

It can happen

I didn't spend even a third of that money that on my 2.9 VR6 Mk2, but got every penny back when I sold it

If you've spent £32k restoring a Golf then you and early Porsche ownership will be just swell!

don't want to buy it .... been there & done it, by plowing huge amounts into a VW beetle I built ( & sold just prior to finishing )

The Golf does look good though
