General Comments

The MK1 golf is a classic and an absolute pleasure to own and drive! The kind of car you can stand and appreciate the genius of for hours and hours on end, and I have yet to meet an owner who the novelty of owning one hasn't worn off yet. These cars perform so well, are reliable, well built, so rarely rust, are light weight, nippy, easy to park and are just a piece of engineering history.

It is also very easy for someone with a little car mechanical know-how, to pick up a cheap rust free body for next to nothing and slash out a bit on a nice 1.8 vr6 or even R32 engine and transplant it into that lovely spacious engine bay.

There are so many ways to make the car more your style, add chrome, remove chrome, remove everything and race it, the list goes on and on.

Buy one if you don't already have a few, these cars deserve love and good care taken of them, and polish your rear badges and number plates, that's all the others will see.
