  • A very unexpected find this one, it used to be a Nursery/Garden Center and closed around 2007. I was surprised to find the shop (which I thought was still open) was now closed also. From Google Earth we could see abandoned cars etc scattered around the site, but we definitely didn’t expect to find a MK1 Golf GTI & a Metro GTA!!

      Lada Niva Cossack! When it was a decent 4x4, it was actually beating Shoguns off road and keeping up with Land Rover 90s.

    I've had a look at the details for the Metro; an 1100cc 1993 model that failed it's MOT on 5th March 2011 with 18 reasons for failure and an additional 6 advisories. It's previous MOT didn't expire until 30th March, so this death trap could well have been on the road for a couple of weeks with issues such as "Nearside Rear wheel bearing has (dangerous levels of) excessive play".

    One initially may think the Golf is the head turner there. It's not.
    The white SUV isn't a Daihatsu Rocky, they were midsize.
    That is a russian Lada Niva 1600, possibly from before '85. That is an extremely rare car, which could worth quite a bit.
    -It's still in production, and only pre-85 are valuable.

    Have it on good authority that the mk1 Golf Gti was previously owned by the late Mike Lovell who sadly lost his life in 2012 while racing a p1 powerboat. He was a race engineer for Brookspeed in Southampton and owned a mk1 Golf Gti while there. Too much of a coincidence to be a coincidence. @thebeadedexplorer

      Nearly. It's the Niva 1600.
      There WAS a Riva 1300, but they were russian Fiat 124 clones, compact sedan with a boot.
      Riva/Niva, I'm sure you were thinking of the correct model, those names are so similar.

      I’d just rather not see these pieces of history go to waste. It’d be amazing to see someone pick it up. I’ve got a mk1 golf project of my own. I don’t really need another at the moment although I’d love to take one on. 😂
      All in all though, there’s always gotta be some room for someone to take on a golf, right? The cars that still stand after years of use, still going strong. What absolute legends they are.
