Now that's a car! I bet there's been a heck of a lot of time and money gone into that one.

Is that what it looks like underneath now? Looks like that needs a bit of work but the rest of it looks mint.

apart from perhaps a bit of paint needed its a double skinned floor which apart from stones hitting it on previous rally stages its rot free and everything on there is pretty much new

Very cool. I'm going to guess.....£6k-£7k? Very difficult one to judge though because it's not the norm.

i have been to look at 5 3 doors all over 5k and i would say honestly only 1 was worth over that but then that turned out to be dodgy people just asking way too much for them and hence they dont sell till they drop the price to realistic price.you cant ask 6k for a 3 door with no history very few reciepts all of which might not be for that car shoddy body work bodged wiring and to not even give it a clean ??? wtf good luck in finding one mate as i had no luck trying still got this now till i get bored

seems like you have to spend over 8k for a good 3 door these days or you get problems.
Same here, thought it was an RST till i saw the tunnel. Would love a rwd MK4.
Looks the nuts mate and love the wheels
