Fair play, could have the makings of a real find there

 

[baybus]

How much are disposable cameras im deducting that from the price.

 

[dealgan]

an 87 gti ?
is that mk2 or mk3 ?

mk2 are great, mk3 not so.

 

[trev]

it'd be a mk2. If it turned out to be a 16V model it's be a real find!!

 

[vdubber]

clearly a good deal.

 

[baybus]

Pity about the pictures

MkII ran until 91ish, didn't it?

Then what................ they all just stopped..............?

Yeah, now that i think about it, I had a '92 Mk2 and it was one of the last of them. Great cars.

I'd prefer an 8v over the 16v, less revvy, more a drivers cars IMO!! I'd love a pre 88 Irish reg'd Mk2 for a project but Ive too many on an the mo! If Baybus dosnt buy I'd be tempted, I could shift a Mk3 I have!

Its not woth alot these days, small bumper, early 2piece window doored Mk2's are not as popular as later cars! Ive bought and sold 1990 Mk2s for around 800 and seen several clean big bumper cars go for under a grand too! Mint high spec Mk2s are struggling to get 3k these days when they where fetching 5k.

Is it 3 or 5door, 5doors not worth alot either!!!

I think you'll be struggling to find out much about this car at all...........................?

 

[Mr Browne]

Don't think there was any 5 door GTIs in Ireland (??). The difference between a GTI and a regular golf is subtle so make sure you know what you are looking at. The back window is usually the fastest giveaway - the GTI had a black frame around the back window which very few copycats bothered to - eh - copy. They were also lower from the factory

 

[SteveR]

Plenty of 5 door Mk2 Gtis in this country, think you may be getting mixed up with the MK1. No 5 door Mk1 Gtis and they had the rear window thingy. The Mk2 had a spoiler on the top of the boot.

 

[Mr Browne]

Accept the 4 door - maybe it was USA that had none? Why would you want one is the next question!! Did the back window not have a frame on the MKII as well though? Like a black bit around the window?

 

[SteveR]

Looks like your right about the window vinyl. Was never a fan of the more door Gti

 

[Dirty1]

Rear spoiler bolts through the glass too!

Mk2 8v, one of my favorite cars of all time!!!

 

[Roadcow]

Mine too! MkII Gti weren't as nimble as the Mk!'s but were still light and went well. Vert comfrtable and returned good fuel mileage. Drivetrain was bullet proof but window winders and door handles and every switch in the damn car would go out.

Funny I actually found the exact opposite to be true about my Mk2 golf. I went through 2 gearboxes in it, but no small things ever broke. That said, it was only a 1.3, not a GTI and I drove the stones off it, being a bit of a boy racer at the time.
