Ok not quite a barn find as the cars been cosseted away in a carcoon for 25 yrs and is completely mint having been run/serviced to keep it in "as new" condition.
Its not a Ford but I'd still like some input on what folk think its worth as its open to bids with a closing date of 1st Feb.

1983 VW Golf GTI Campaign in Mars red
All factory options
1300 yes thirteen hundred miles on the clock with every MOT to back it up.

I reckon its worth between ten and twenty grand as its got to be the lowest mileage Campaign outside of the Wolfsburg museum.

So what do YOU reckon its worth

This is not a for sale post!

 

this may be a better place to ask

Oh my god!!

Pics!

Get it bought Cam! DOOO IT!

 

I have asked the mk1 register but wanted some non rose-tinted opinions as well even tho its argueable that its the most influencial sporting car of the 20th century.

 

Just posted this on E38, will see what they say.

 

Going to view tomorrow will take plenty

I'd love it but the temptation to mod it would mean I'd HAVE to buy another to mess with!

 

I can see it now, big wheels and lowered suspension on a 1300 mile old MK1 GTI.

 

should see 15k to the right person.

 

did they make carcoons in 1983 ???

 

it's an unpriceable car as if you get a proper enthusiast view it they may well pay thousands above wot ppl think it is worth just to own a car of that stature vee dub boyzare a funny lot !!!!!

 

i know of a similar one aswell cam, but the guy will not sell it

 

me personally, id pay a grand.

not interested in the old golfs lol

 

I reckon to the right person, it'll do around 12-14k depending on the level of interest there is at this moment in time.


Cheers,
Grant

 

People on E38 seem to think about the 10k - 15k mark, maybe more depending on how bad you want it?

 

Somewhere in the region of:

£0.00 - £15,000000.00

to the right person it could double to £30,000000.00 or be worth £0.00 to someone else...

 

Someone said hes got £12k for it and wants me to PM him your details Cam. Lol.

Buy it and put it away forever!

 

Phoned the seller to confirm viewing to be told that he has been offered 35k for the car and not to waste time and money travelling to Somerset unless I was making a better offer.
Mk1 Golfs are the bollocks but I'd rather blow 10k on a minter with more miles then 25k on the best RS500.

 

You Dub weirdo's are all on f**king drugs!!

 

£35k fucking nutcase

 

 

He's pullin ya chain mate, ask him when the guys doing the deal and could you give him a call a day or two later to see how the sale went, then you'll go down with sensible money.

I imagine he's been in the pub talking about selling his old Golf and some know it all in the next urinal told him its worth £35k and all Mk1 Gti's had 500 bhp.

Jake

 

fook £35k!!

 

£35k? another world class dickhead!

 

Im pretty sure he was genuine but I hope your right.

 

i know you have a few bob Cam, but are you seriously thinking about it for that much!

 

Id stick a VR6 lump in it and a clipper kit

 

He's trying to pull a fast one over you mate. Let him sweat for a while, if someone really wants to part with £35k for it then let them. Personally I wouldn't part with 3.5p for it.

 

I was thinking 18 to 20k max hopefully less but at 35k I'll pass

 

oh dear


cam, that is a seriously collectable car..if its as described.....as for what its worth well....depends how badly you or someone else wants it...i would have thought your valuation of 18-20 could possibly be fair...but where do you find another....and if a propper vw anorak with plenty dosh (even more than you but i doubt it) wants it then its a no go!

 

I reckon its my midlife crisis moving up a gear! 1st car I ever had was a 1600 mk1 GTI and I always have said one day I will have another. Ive seen mk1s do 12 to 14k and like I said at a push I'd go to 20 as the next lowest mileage example Ive heard of has just under 5000 on the clock.
As for all the "I wouldn't give it the steam off my piss" brigade I would hazard a guess that you never driven and enjoyed what a good MK1 Golf GTI has to offer a driver - GREAT FUN and remember it was THE car that started the hot hatch craze! A truely iconic car imo.

 

seconded..i had a couple of mk1 gti campaign,s around 1988 and they were awesome ...streets ahead of anything else in their class....would love to drive a really good one again

 

Hard thing to price, sounds awesome though, and just up the road from me, lol

 

oh shit are thay worth that much i know someone who has one it was last on the road in 1984 that is the last tax on it and someone wanted to swap it for a gti soft top k reg

 

If its a Mars red GTI I'm very interested.

 

i remember having a do with a mk1 golf gti on the a41 back in the late 80's when my old man got a mk2 rs2000, the golf thought it was the bollocks,unfortunately the hurricane racing engine in the old escort showed the yuppie whats what and left it.
i never got old golf gti's, they were a very common car,i can see the interest in a very low miler though. theres a chevette hsr 1 of only 34 on ebay at the mo, now thats a interesting car, and hs chevette hot hatchs were around before a golf gti.

 

i love my old vw's I got a mk2 scirocco storm.
I appreciate the golf mk1 and all that it's about. However I do think they're over-rated and late to the game when there were far more important cats prior to the release of the gti mk1.

 

did he sell it for 35k?

 

why is it every post of yours is usually slating stuff or .youve done /had better etc etc ffs getting real old now pal


makes you look a mong tbh mate

 

If you've stepped in shit, then cozzfather has fallen in it

 

There was a proper 'barn-found' VW Split Screen Pickup a few years back. An old boy bought it in the late 50's (I think) and didn't tell his wife. He hid it away in the barn, then shortly after that he died. It was only discovered (fully intact) when a plane crashed into the barn in recent years. It had something like 250km on the clock.

I don't even think that was worth £35k, let alone a 1980's Golf.
