Im the 2nd owner from new, an elderly couple from berkshire had it before me. I have owned the car for around 8 years now. Its currently on 101k miles but only 1k since engine rebuild. I dont have service history on the charge but it has Jabba R1 and number scribed inside so i might ring them to find out when it was last done. Boosts fine at 1 bar. It has about 8 months MOT left and a couple of months tax left.

I have entered the car in 3 show and shines in Volksfest wales and have rossettes for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place.

It has been off the road the last 3 years as i have been rebuilding it slowly when funds permitted. Had a few issues when i first got it back running but sorted now and running fine. Dont want to sell it now as its running very well but i really need the money to go towards the house. Would consider a cheaper car plus cash my way.

The only things that need to be done to get the car as i want it is refit the roof lining under the window rubbers, if i get the chance i will do this. the roof lining is all in place but just not in the rubbers. The centre console is slightly loose and the boost gauge is loosely fitted in the centre console. The rear window is a lightweight window from plastics4perfomance but i do have the proper glass rear window available. There are a few surface scratches which i will try to t-cut out this week.

ALSO AVAILABLE IN SALE

Large AW tracksport intercooler
Eaton m45 charger
AMD 55mm pulley
PSD Custom remap for eaton setup
Spare new VAG front bumper
Orange front indicators
LPG conversion kit
Polished Mk4 rocker cover


The only thing missing is the charger bracket to refit the eaton setup if you wanted to run the eaton instead of the g-lader.

Car is located in Port Talbot, South wales

im dropping this to £2300 as its a pain sometimes getting into gear and its breathing a little heavy in my eyes. if it dont sell soon then im going to have to break it as i cant afford to keep buying little things all the time. im getting to old for this now and just want a runaround car.















a little bit of rust in corner of rear windows





















roof lining needs to be tucked back under window rubber



stitching has come loose on rear seat

i have never put it on a rolling road tbh. it was running silly power with the eaton but it did have a 55mm pulley on it at the time. i prefer the power delivery and sound of the g-lader. it did manage 14.5 1/4 mile and 0-60 5.8 secs at the rubbish bruntingthorpe strip but the valves werent seated correctly at the time as i found out a few weeks later.

i also have a stainless steel strut brace for this which will be part of the sale

i need to sell this soon as the job is not looking to clever at the moment as my job is seasonal. i hate the credit crunch

i removed the eaton when i had problems with the engine at pvw shoot out a few years back. when the car was off the road i sold the eaton bracket and water injection to fund putting it back together to be honest. happy now as its a lot better but can easily be turned back with another bracket if someone bought a bracket
