Hi all,
I know its not a Ford but i fancied a change, and although i was after a saph i couldn't use it everyday and trust it to be reliable, which i needed for my summer job.
I don't think i'd ever buy a "normal" golf mk4 gti, the anniversary has ALOT of changes over the standard version (see below).
Anyway, I travelled down to Skegness to buy this after seeing it on Pistonheads with a fairly vague description - 3 owners from new, full VW service history, standard and pretty clean looking. Prior to buying my father and I made a 650mile round trip from Glasgow to go and see the car. Upon arrival we spent over an hour checking the car over, everything from service history to running gear checks was fine, even the common fan resistor problem! The spare wheel has never been used, no parking dents at all, BBS rims still in mint condition. The car was like brand new, and very well maintianed (services ALWAYS done 10K prior to when they should have been done). We agreed a price there and then...
Two weeks later we travelled down by train and collected the beauty you see below:
