What do you think, i personally love it. I've decided that to free up some money, i may be part exchanging the Cupra with my mate for this (and cash my way)


Supercharger was rebuilt 500 miles ago 10months MOT, can't remember the tax, it has some more extras including cat1 alarm, and some engine goodies (lots of chrome stuff). Interior is original in mint condition. My mate took me out in it the other day and i loved it. What do you guys think?

great fun cars, well built and have a cool retro feel about them, strip it out and lose some weight and some tasty engine mods and it will be great

I didn't realise how well they pulled tbh. I've fancied a retro veedub for a while and this fits the bill both financially (gain for me ) and personally as i really want it now Fingers crossed

Wheels don't suit IMO, but they are cracking cars, I wish I'd bought one.

I'd be getting the car with a choice of those or original BBS wheels

I think the wheels look alright......nice dish on them 
Std BBS are 14's & not the best looking iirc

I like the wheels , nice look to them.
Clean looking car, Those will soon to be hard to find in good condition and un-molested.
Please dont strip it to metal though, would be a waste imo.

If you get it i would seriously consider uprating the brakes, as standard they arent too good. Also you may want to consider uprated wishbone bushes, heard all kind of stories involving heavy braking and wheels touching the rears of the arches

It is a genuine G yeah, he removed the arches but if i get it i want the arches and trim back on. If i did get it, i'm tempted to lower it on coilovers with standard wheels. It already has an aftermarket exhaust. so i would probably keep it standard as possible bar the coilovers, or maybe keep the RH's can't decide

Love them!
Lots of tuning options including R1 chargers and Eaton M45's off the BMW Mini Cooper S. They go for very cheap on Ebay!
Regular servicing is a must aswell as keeping your eye on the charger. Look after them and they are great!
