    Looks pretty tidy...doesn't say how many k's tho.
    Might of had a knock on the rear bumper from the pics?
    With the repaired roof and a few dents etc...
    Ide say $1000-$2500 max. Anything under $2000 would be a good deal.

      i reckon its looks pretty battered - go for a later model if you can - i got a 93 model and i think that would worth the extra money

              The imports have a better engine, big valve head and better cam.

                might be a silly question, but how can u tell its an import?

                  because an 85 was never sold here. It also has those horrible side markers like they get in the US

                    correct and correct.

                    depends what you want it for. but it'd be cool for summer that's for sure!

                    I was going to have a look at it, but I've still got exams.. damn.

                      Lawny, I've seen this car(briefly), as a guy called Dean owns it. He bought my old Weber for another of his Mk 1's and I met him opposite the Museum to do the exchange...he rocked up in the Cabby. I think he told me he bought it fairly cheap (like less than $1k), but it's an auto and an ex-USA import, so quality of LHD to RHD conversion would be high on my list to check.....

                            alright..... so i just went and had a look at it and.... well..... i probably wouldnt buy it unless it went for well under $1000. IMO it needs an entire respray, dont think a cut and polish would be enough for this one and there are some deep scratches in the bonnet. the roof is quite faded and the repair that was made to it on the passenger side stands out quite a lot, a bit less than a metre in stitching and there are are some rips on the inside. the interior is really dirty and some rips, not sure if a good steam clean would fix it and it smells of cigarette smoke pretty bad. under the hood there is alot of oil spray on the bonnet and also underneath the engine. he couldnt really explain what it was from except it had blown a head gasket before he bought it was his answer. it has only done 91000miles however. overall it does need quite a lot of work i think, even if you do only want it for a summer cruiser.
