Not all Golf and Beetle models are covered. The full list of new prices is as follows:- E 1.4 75bhp 3-dr: £9,995 OTR E 1.4 75bhp 5-dr: £10,480 OTR E SDI 68bhp 5-dr: £10,630 OTR S 1.4 75bhp 3-dr: £10,995 OTR S 1.4 75bhp 5-dr: £11,615 OTR S 1.6 105bhp 5-dr: £12,190 OTR S 1.6 102bhp 5-dr auto: £13,030 OTR S TDI PD 100bhp 5-dr: £13,575 OTR Beetle 1.6 102bhp: £11,750 OTR Beetle 2.0 115bhp: £13,495 OTR Obviously, these prices which include VW's three year UK warranty, make the benefits of buying a Euro import increasingly marginal.

  Classic cars set for MoT exemption 16 May 2018 (News)
  Back then, we showed that the average pass rate for older cars was very good. Of the 55,000 MoTs for cars registered before 1960, the overall pass rate for all the years combined was 85.2 per cent. And in some ways, this does make sense. Classic cars tend to cover fewer than 3000 miles a year.

  A Grand Monday: Fiat Uno 12 Sep 2016 (News)
  We’d check out the sills, the front scuttle and the inner wings very carefully and if the corrosion here is catchable and not too advanced, as the owner suggests, then it has all the hallmarks of an original and presentable restoration project. We wouldn’t fancy trying to find a good set of seats, though, so maybe some retro 1980s covers are the way forwards? At £450, it’s not a lot of money for a rapidly appreciating and extremely rare car of an era that’s very much on the up and up. A car you can use daily as you gradually improve it, will cost pennies to run and is the perfect entry level classic for a younger enthusiast.
