Default Pics of the daily ride

Acquired this from the old man 12 months ago, who has owned it from new, for work duties and general wafting around. It's a 1.9 TDI PD130 Tiptronic but I'm toying with the idea of converting to manual.

Since I've owned it, I've treated it to some cheap coilovers and added the 19" BBS reps.

Anyone want to have a guess at the mileage? Running gear is original and has only had an alternator and brake light switch apart from normal service items.

Yes it is as clean as the pics suggest

As I said, NOTHING has been changed other than an alternator and brake light switch

Seen this car many times, honestly doesnt look anywhere near the miles. The interior is as clean as it was when new - i've known Phil and his old man for donkeys years.

Awesome reliable old bus! (prob the kiss of death now LOL)
