That is one fantastic looking car, refreshing to see an un-body kit MK2.
BTW, what is the pre-2001 number plate style? Not sure I know what this is?

Compare the fonts of my car's front and rear number plates. The modern font is narrower. It's not immediately obvious to everyone, but if you know about it, it just doesn't look quite right to have the modern font on an older car.

Cheezy peas that things clean! I've never seen a VW interior like that before. It looks class.

That's the sort of thing I get really anal about, but it really polishes the car off properly. And they aren't the same without the little dealer logos either.....

Ah, but if they're just show plates... ;)
Nout illegal about having them on the car dude it's just getting someone to make them

welcome to the red square club Ed.
Fabulous condition, a really good find mate.
I'd be interested to know your chassis number by PM, there can't be much between them.

My God, that's just amazing. They must have put that thing into the carbon freeze with Han Solo to keep it so well preserved. Wish I had a Rocco that nice, in fact wish I had a Rocco.
