Hi guys. The red Mk1 above is my car now. It did belong to John for many many years but after I sold my blue one pictured below I wanted another and couldn't do any better than buying John's old one. It is a stunner and very very fast
ajcorsa - any chance of a copy of the vid that you've got please? Are you the guy I met at PV this year just after I bought the car? If so, Hi
Here's my old one that I spent £10k on getting it to look this good
