My old Mk1

[greasykitchen]

I sold my beloved '76 Mk1 the other day so I thought I'd just put up some photos to remember it by.

It was an all original (apart from a respray at some point I think) '76 Mk1 that was my reliable daily for over 6 years. When I got it the mileage was an original 15K km.

It's a great car. It's gone to a good home so bear that in mind. They are getting fewer and fewer in that condition these days.

Indeed, I've had my turn and it's time to pass it onto someone who appreciates old Golfs and knows how to treat them. It would have been great to have as a weekend car or something, but I just can't keep it. A new chapter in life awaits.

now that i see these photo's I'm even more bummed that I couldn't buy it! SO immac!

[Stiggy_21]

what a beauty!!!!
wish i bought it too

[greasykitchen]

Cheers lads.

I didn't really need to advertise it and I didn't need to work hard to sell at the right price. The new ower seems happy with it too.

And for what it's worth, it's gone to Victoria so you might, might get to see it in person some time.

WOOOOO!!!
VIC's taking over

Wow looks clean! Who bought it?

All I'll say is that it was a former VWW contributor

[Jarred]

I have a feeling I know who might have it. just a suspicion though!

[mikinoz]

Yeah, my old man is going to love it.

That thing is mint, almost looks like it could have come straight out of the sales brochure. What will you be replacing it with?

[greasykitchen]

Cheers. The photos do it a bit too much justice. It was getting a little rough around the edges but still essentially clean and straight.

I've got a Mk5 now. Not as fun or as reliable, but more comfortable and safer.

Ok, so I haven't been on here in a while, but just now I saw a picture (one I took) of the old Golf appear on my Facebook news feed through a mutual friend (Evorobin). It seems someone on the Mornington Pennisula is now the proud owner of what is now known as Andy!

Anyone know if this new owner is a member here?

Cheers.
