That's probably considered high mileage for a Jersey car!! :-)

Worth getting. Even if you had to spends a bit on it it's potentially good BX value (assuming the reserve isn't over £1,500). A beauty. Better than mine appearance-wise and my BX owes me a bucket of money and it's still not quite there. This GTi would not take much to get concours. Worth that starting money for the trims alone lol ;)

LHD might keep the price low-ish. But what a wonderful Challenge car!

It's probably worth more as lhd as you could if you wanted to sell it into Europe where cars fetch more, or if you really wanted a rhd conversion is possibly but a faff,

The chance of finding another GTi with that mileage anywhere is very remote, they just don't show up.

I would if I hadn't blown so much on the TZD turbo. A better drive albeit less economical fuel-wise. But hey. Someone needs to get this :)! One of our French friends maybe?

I just wish my compensation money would hurry up. I've already spent it in my mind. :-)
