Nice looking example. When I was a teenager, my pal's parents had an early Mk1 Golf 1500 (GL, IIRC), and we used to hammer it up and down their private road, my pal getting it on the door handles going round corners way too fast!  |

That is a real dream car, fantastic. It's easy to forget just how pretty the base spec MK1s were when they left the dealership, when you see so many slammed/stanced/rat/scene ones (not that I don't like the slammed/stanced/rat/scene ones  ) |

several, and a NSU RO80.
can't be the same bloke though, no babies at his house.
maybe you bought it from the bloke Ant sold it to,
iirc he was a young-ish bloke, bald with glasses.
