At last my search is over.
Bought a new playmate for my Mark IV GTi at the weekend a late Mark 2 16V.
It is a 92 J with full history and 120K on the clock, 5 door in a metalic charcol colour (not pure black). With grey leather 5 door std including the late alloys G60 BBS design. Fantastic runner mechanicals are very very sweet. Few cosmetic items to sort out, generally the paintwork is in VGC just a few scratches to sort out.
Only non-std bit seems to be an electric sunroof, it has a factory sunroof but it has had an electric system fitted (unless there was a factory fit option ?).
I need to source a BBS centre cap for one of the alloys (suggestions welcome) and the offside fog and nearside main beam lights have cracks so I will need to replace them. Also need to sus out the factory alarm, the remote has two buttons, the left hand one with an indent will lock and un-lock the car, the right hand raised button just seems to flash the hazzards ?
Leather will need some care as the bolster on the drivers side is torn but we know an upholsterer (sp) so should be able to get that sorted at a reasonable price. Few other maintenance items that will need atention, the heater fan is noisey.
Hopefully I can post some pics later.
