Most people know my car, as it's been at pv and billing this year, and I'm now getting a new daily so it's up for sale, I suspect I'll end up breaking it, which I'd rather not do but I have the space and time if need be. I bought the car in early 2011 of an old chap who was only the third owner and had it since 97, he was 87 and could no longer insure it. The car is a cosmos blue four door saloon trip model which I estimate the mileage to be around 90000 but the gsi engine was was fitted on the Easter weekend 2012 and came from a restored gsi that had only done 34000, like I have mentioned the car has been used as a daily and the paint work isn't perfect but it scrubs up ok for shows with little effort, tax until end of march 14, mot until April 14, still on cheap tax but has been insured as a 1.6 since converted, less of the drivel and a little spec list, any questions please call or text me on 07554442959
