Good stuff.. you're right, the fear of it being stolen is the only thing that bothers me from time to time.

Dad had one in Manchester. Loved it. Best car ever. He got it valeted then some bastard robbed it and used it as a get away car in Whalley Range. Got burned out but he still has the badge found on the floor. Every cloud....

Miss my two mk2 golf

I used too buy and sell mk2s in the 90s, £3,000-£3,500 for a G reg, now their £9,000 to £10,000, ouch

Honestly, a 124 or a Mk2 Golf. You cannot beat it!

Does that classic insurance policy come with an annual mileage restriction for the mk2?

Temp sender need looking at Tomo, your temp LED is flashing away merrily! Good watch, thank you! Amazed at 48mpg, I’m sure mine is nowhere near this!

Yup it’s not wired in. Never trusted it in this car hence the stack gauge! Need to just bypass it altogether on the dash coz it’s annoying

48 mpg is really good for a mk2. My J-reg 8v I had from new as a company car averaged 42mpg on a motorway run. 16vs are much worse... expect about 35 at best!

Yo G! Where did you get that gorgeous cushion from at 7:57?

Haha, we have two AHU Mk2s and a soon to be 1.6D Mk2 Van as well. We love them no matter the engine 😂

my mum had a 89 on F plate new no central locking, no power windows, no sunroof on the plus side it had an auto reverse Panasonic radio and trip computer . Even by 89 standards was low in kit an XR3i had power locks windows and a sunroof. My mums 86 Cavalier SRI was way quicker felt better quality less tinny but the Golf GTI has classic appeal an SRI does not.

Damn, our 7.5 GTI regularly sees 40+ 😂

That comes with VW tax and the drive is at the wrong end I know a lot of you young uns grew up with FWD and 4 bangers, but really, go buy a CLK55 and do the 6 speed manual gearbox swap and see if you want to go back to a fwd hatchback.

Did you watch the video at all, where we literally mention about rear wheel drive, no?
