This is the one that the prev owner claimed he was offered £16k for it by a doctor lol, forget his name now. I met him at C&M mk2 owners meet, was a nice guy who by the looks of it actually spent money in the right places on this car. Sad to see that it was left abandoned for a year. Nice buy!!
Thanks for the kind words lads. Tim came to buy the car earlier this month. I did tell Tim about the running issues but sadly life got in the way and I was never able to sort it. I’m gutted I couldn’t keep her but family and kids had come to me first.
@@dashworth87 Yes mate I understand that fully, I remember your name now, Johnny, right?? Shame it couldn’t be your forever car but it has definitely gone to a great home and will be looked after
@@mk2nathan that’s right mate! I’m honoured you remembered me. To be honest, I had so many tyre kickers/messers and a lot of people who wanted to buy it to avoid ULEZ and then randomly Tim messaged and said hey ‘can I buy it’ I’m happy it’s gone to Tim as I know she will get the love she deserves. It also means that the money it freed up has been able to help me and my family massively!
ive got the -kjet engine in my mk1 its a mk2 EV block with a 2E crank ported head and cam shaft set it up with a 16v throttle body and 16v warm up reg its its just shy of 160bhp
That sounds like a great set up. That’s what I mean you can still get good power out of these engines. It’s never going to touch a 1.8t but still more than enough to put a smile on your face.
Good luck Tim! Glad you got back ok! Can’t believe you don’t like the RM’s but each to their own!
I can’t imagine I’ll ever find another car like it.
Love it. Great colour, and great choice on engine once sorted. I agree wheels don’t work. Too much on a beige car.
Late to the party but mqn that interior is nice and retro. I love this car already. New subscriber. ❤
Cool car as for wheels to suit how about period
Pirelli P Slots.
One of my favorite Jettas of all time!!
Personally I love the way the wheels look on it. Drop a 1.8T engine into it with a shaved engine bay 👍
Thats i lovely jetta has been up for sale for some time. Nice stash of jettas
I think it may have been the running issue that was putting people off. We’ll put the injection back to standard and it should run like a dream.
@BarnClubCars the coupes are not easy to find not too sure where you could source them from
Wooden beaded seat covers and beige rear blinds and set of polished steel rims
I think it came with a set of beaded covers in the boot 👍🏻
Nice.
Lovely car dude, wouldn't mind taking a coupe off your hands.. 3rd time lucky 😂😂
Thanks mate 👍🏻 I’ve got 3 coupes now in the barn so I’ll leave the next one that comes up for sale for everyone else to buy.
@@BarnClubCars 😂😂😂
Drop it on some polished up bbs rc041 off an old 328i sport. I had them on my mk3 and they looked spot on
Not many cars can pull off nhs hearing ade baige but it somehow looks good

Yeah he’s a really nice guy. He’s done a great job keeping it nice and with the injection system put back to original it’ll be a great car.

Agree bstars would look better and the profit on selling will pay for other works hopefully.
Borbet Type A's
The best thing i ever did to mine was rip the engine out and put something more modern into it.
My guess on what car you have bought is that it's an... old broken one 😂
Watched the whole video. Thats disgusting! 😂
It’s definitely a love it or hate it colour combo.
