Ok was reading a friends copy of retro cars yesterday & noticed that someone (VW??) have remade the Mk1 Golf GTi body shell, have i read this wrong or have others seen or heard of this, as they were advertising a new MK1 Golf GTi for £6,500!!

Dont know about the VW I do know you can buy a brand new old style mini.
A comapny called english motoring heritage or simiular buy the press and see them off.
Maybe a simular scheme.

i cant insure an RS2, which is a shame
but a mexico or harrier i can
and a turbo is out of the question, but an XR2 would do
or a capri, thatd be cool
