H reg Red GTi 4x4

Copied from BXC....see full post there for all details, but this is the bulk of it:

Right, finally managed to get over there today and get some pics and have a nose around:

It's pretty straight, colours not bad for the year by any stretch and with proper attention I think it'll shine nice and deep for those who like polishing! Pretty low mileage too, and backed up by paperwork.
Interior's very tidy, engine runs happily enough (though needs a bloody good itailian tune-up) doesn't smoke or anything silly. I think the TPS might want adjusting as it's reluctant to idle everytime you let go of the throttle. More importantly, 4wd system is in good working order and mileage is backed up by MOTs.

The guy's had it around 10 years, 6 of which it spent sat in a specialist's workshop having some 4wd trickery done! He reckons he's had it on the road about 6months in total!! Selling because it doesn't get used enough (ya think?!).

He wants to pitch it in at offers around the £1000 mark. Personally, I saw that it needed a door moulding on the o/s/f door (though these are normal BX items) and the exhaust is blowing a bit around the back end, so budget to have a bit made, or learn to weld.

The car itself is nearly rot free. All the pillars are good, roof and sills all good etc. Only bits I saw were the inner wings have just started to rear their heads, under the ABS pump and behind the LHM tank (as usual).

It's MOT'd until October, but no tax. He's kept it MOT'd to keep it servicable, if that makes sense?

Clutch was done less than 1000 miles ago, it's also had the subframes off recently. Quite a few bills for important stuff, though I'd do a timing belt on it personally. I think it's definately got potential and with the minters getting near £1500, it's probably a fair starting price considering how rot free it is.

I have got his number but not to hand, so if anyone's interested give me a shout. The company I work for are pretty good value at hauling cars around the country too, so if collecting it from Fareham near Portsmouth is an issue let me know.
