Hi I’m Adam, I have just joined.
I have just got a 1982 1.6 auto with 30k on the clock.
I will try and work out how to post a picture!

There she is.
Thanks for the heads up on the app.
I’ve just bought these for it too as I’m not a fan of the Lenso’s

Looks great fellah - very clean & straight, & a good colour - is the mileage evidenced - if so that's a fantastic find. Agree re the rims.......

I'm a fellow Auto owner (88 Scala) - the 010 is a hugely underated box, especially the ones with a slightly more sedate top gear (TJ* series) .

I must get some pics uploaded of mine at some point.....

Hi Dave

This is my second Scirocco. The first was a GT2 in metallic blue about 15 years ago.
I have owned many VW’s and currently have a T25 camper and a mk3 golf gti. I have also just sold a B5 S4 avant.

I’m basically going to get the paint in tip top condition. The drivers side was in the sun when it sat for 18 years on a trailer and has oxidised and faded but most of it should clean up. I’ve bought some more period alloys and I’m going to put the original interior back in which I got with the car, again this is faded so I am going to get it refurbished. I feel this car needs to be kept original due to its low miles etc.
I love driving it, it cruises along really well.
