Have you seen HJ's Jetta GT in the classifieds for £100!!

By chance I opened a 1986 Autocar the other day to read a full road test of the model. They really rated it with a 0-60 of 8.5 secs and 119mph max. Handling was well liked also.

From my experience of older VWs this would either give you a great deal of fun for a few months till it breaks, or it may even be worth some TLC for a longer term future. After all it is just a Golf GTi (only better looking) and one of those would be at least five times as much in similar condition.

Bargain at twice the price.

The only troubles are:

1. It looks like a Jetta
2. You can't fit wardrobes etc in it
3. Insurance is just as horrific as a Golf GTI

If I didn't already have a Golf GTI I might even take it off HJs hands :)

That would be a shame. I'll try and persude me Dad he needs one to run about in.

Or, if Phil G's Dad is not interested, why not send it to auction??? Or give it away to Richard Hall?

I can't believe anybody on this forum would send a roadworthy car to scrap, especially the venerable HJ. I know I never could.

all in the best possible taste.

HJ,

Why not put it up on ebay starting at a pound?! You often see MOT failures going for more than a hundred!
