Tips for buying a MK1

[sports racer]

Wheels and Modern Motor used to have a double page spread giving tips on what to look for in a particular classic car. This got me thinking. Nowhere is there a guide on this forum to help anyone looking for a MK1 so I thought I'd write one.

WHAT TO LOOK FOR WHEN BUYING A MK1

Does it have 2 or 4 doors? Yes? Buy it.

Thank you.

Glad I could be of some help.

So what you're saying Paul is, if it's a mk1. Buy it.

[sports racer]

Of course.

Unless it's brown, and has 4 doors.

Nobody buys brown 4 door MK1's. Nobody sane that is.

Make sure you are good at making decisions that make no financial sense if thinking of buying a MK1.

Can you have a word with my missus just to prove I'm not crazy.

Just tell her it's like one really big pair of overly priced, uncomfortable shoes...

Of course.

Guess I'm insane then, because I really like the colour of my 4 door
