Very nice, and in the best colour wink

Any plans to upgrade it? More importantly have you had the top down yet?

As said, looks nice and in the best colour! All that for under £1500 isn't bad either, good buy!

Very nice. Not so sure about the fog light attachment. But looks like a nice example of a MK1 to me. smile

Just noted G reg and Cambelt change. Have a poke around on t'web about woodruff(sp) keys, 4/8 spoke pulleys and short nose crank. You might want to just check the job was done properly.

looks nice, are you one those "builders" that hang out with bikers, naked indians and policemen etc in your spare time and spend a long time getting your fancy hair right in the morning before oggling the young labourer at work?

Will it be making an appearance at the next Sunday Service? I'll be taking my UK MK1 along - it's in the same colour, which seems to be one of the more rare paintjobs around!

Link is here - to be honest it's worth it just to be taken round the test track in an AMG for £10!

I have a set of Watanabe 14" +tyres, very light. Classic looking, in need of a refurb though. You can have cheap.

Yup we'll have a get together soon.
