    Retro spec mk1

    About a little over a year or so I found a rust free, yes that's right rust free 2 door mk1 that I couldn't let go even with owning 3 at the time I purchased it I just had to have it. I put it in storage until the day comes to enhance it.

    It was parked in the owners shed for over 8 years!!!! And just prior to it being parked he spent a tiny bit of cash on it like a complete engine rebuild when I say complete I mean every single thing on motor was rebuilt to factory standard, all new genuine parts including little things such a vacuum lines. powder coated all steel external parts covers,shields,booster.....list goes on......... Sadly it's only a 1.6.

    So picked it up without even turning it over and winched it up on the tandem, man that was hard when the brakes had seized on.

    Charged up a battery and put some fresh fuel, couple of revolutions of cranking it was running after 8 years.

    Good find, what a treasure ! I guess you didn't pay much
    I wish I have enough space to have another Mk1 or Mk2 in future.
