Hello 
I'd like to swap or part ex my 1996 VW Golf GTI 8v for a 4x4 of some kind. Ideally something I can get on a classic policy (so, mid-90s or earlier I'd say).
My Golf is a 5-door GTI in Dragon Green. It's been my daily driver since August, and it's been fantastic. I've done loads of miles in it and it's been really good fun to drive - I don't really want to let it go, but I need something that can tow! It starts first time, every time and is really reliable. It's in totally original condition - no lowering, no aftermarket wheels... just a K&N panel filter which I found was on it when I did the last service!
It has MOT until August 2012, and tax until May 2012. It's done about 130k miles and has been serviced regularly. Starts, stops and goes great.
Negative bit: I intend to put a new driver's door on, as it has a crease low down, and the window regulator is bust - it's just easier for me to put a whole new door and assembly on! The door that's on it is useable and the window is chocked in the closed position.
I'll get some more pics up, but here's one from a while back taken by Akku:
I reckon it's worth about £600. I'm willing to add cash to the deal for the right vehicle.
As a rough guide to what I'm looking for: Thing like Jeep Cherokee's, Range Rovers, Mitsi Delicas all tickle my fancy, although I'm open to suggestions. They don't need to be pretty but must have MOT and absolutely no projects! ;D I have enough of them!
I'm in Leicester but will travel.
