My Golf Mk4 GTI Anniversary
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:
Spec:
VW Golf MK4 GTI Anniversary
Tornado Red (1 of 300)
41,000 miles
Full VW Service History (over £3.2K in servicing reciepts!)
Recaro Le Mans Interior (front and back)
BBS RC 18" Alloys
Michelin Pilot Sports
Uprated Discs front and rear.
6 speed gearbox
ATB LSD
180BHP 20v Turbo
Lowered suspension
Climate Control
Electric windows
Electric mirrors
Nokia Bluetooth kit
6 disc in dash changer.
OBC (It manages 40MPG to work in the mornings!)
Cheers,
Agar

I'd love a set of 19" BBS rims for it, but as it so happens theres a guy down the road from me with one on the only wheels i'd want to change onto.
I won't be getting it mapped/tuned anyway - its far to good to tune. Will just be saving my money to keep it well serviced/detailed.
