That Golf and 205 are exactly my era, but didn’t own either, I had a 1980 Scirocco Storm and my first Golf GTi was a Mk2 16V in 1988 and somehow I missed the whole 205 Gti thing, at the time the Golf was seen as a step up from the smaller 205.

There’s a lay by outside a cafe just up from Camwell Rd, used to regularly see a CSK Range Rover parked in it a few years back, did you go for a nosey at Spa Cycles whilst you were there?

@DRM

A ‘CSK’
Now they are nice!
Unmolested/original ones still go for big money


Yes, l did pop into Spa Cycles

Well, it’s clearly intended to look like a pre-war Bugatti, but that’s unlikely as they are very rare and mega money.

I reckon it’s a kit car. The wheels are the main giveaway as they are too small in diameter. There was a company that produced Bugatti-style kits in the late 80s. Can’t remember the name but it may well be one of them…

Well it's quite interesting in that it was first registered Feb 1998 just before the SVA came into force in April, but on a 1980 age related plate, so the owner/DVSA has decided that it qualifies as a 40 year old car so doesn't need tax/test

Damn!!

it's been sold

To me, the ultimate road-car, until the T50 arrived

And I suspect for solidly an 8 figure sum, given Rowan Atkinson's went for almost £8m.

My bosses wife reckon it was too slow, so he had to upgrade it

My mate had a Pug 1.6 GTI when we were early 20's (30 years ago), he had it for a while, then sold on to a friend. It then sat unused for many years, and he bought it back about 6 years ago, and slowly set about getting the paint sorted. He's restored it, but being an old car, it's a constant job to keep it running, and he's not a mechanic at all. It's in for a clutch at the moment.

Less than a 2 hour job on the drive
