Brought her 2003 from Welling Gardens in Herts.From a guy called Geoff he did not own her long as the fist owner brought her new from Hammer Smith in London.She still has the original sales sticker in the back window.She will be modified more as time goes on have parts all ready brand new 15 inch ace 2 wheels and tyres on her right now as you can see from the picture, all so has on her this very minute stainless steel exhaust, stainless steel oil cap, dip stick holder and top, and strut top mount covers and front upper strut .
She has been off the road for 3 years so cambelt , oil change, putting slick 50 in her as well, our mechanic told as about this you just need put it in once and it projects the engine for the whole of it's life, much better then GTX rubbish Magnatec, break fluid change etc.
All so side moldings and she needs be touched up and another wing put on her wing in the picture.New sticker saying make and name of the car as well.
She has only done 43,000 with full F.S.H and all the mots from new.
I will put more pictures up as when I take them enjoy peeps comments very welcome.
She is now on the road and lowerd as well with a private plate on her i will post more pics up on here when i take them but the wife is in recover from breast cancer op at the min so will be a littlie well before i do that.
Well we had a injection as our first had it tuned once but I do not think it needed or so the man did not do a very good job as in this case a knob head lol, unfortunately it got mashed in the rear end at 40 mph in dec 2003 she was written off by the car insurance, she was pushed in on the drivers side all the way up to the fuel cap, and i all so had whip lash, she only had done 75,000 with all the mots for proof the wife brought her, then i brought her off her this is before we were married, this was a MK 2 vw Scirocco Scala injection 1800 8v Scarler we called her, so that was that one gone and off to sirocco heaven in the sky, so with the insurance money found one in W gardens Hertfordshire on the web had only done 32,000 from new with full F.S.H and all the mots and 2 owners from new, this was much lower mileage then the 1 the wife brought and was a very rear opportunity to buy 1 at this such low miles so i brought her and we call her Scarlet, she was then
drove backwards into by a land rover in a petrol station another stupid knob head was in nov 2003 most dangours time to drive on the rd i feel as xmas time as from past experience from my previous accident,
we then brought anther mk 2 vw scirocco 1800 gt 2 in april 2004 carb from ebay from Greys in Essex version was not good in running on the peco carb, all so the rubber gasket had come away from bottom of the carb, this would not of helped the running of her, we then fitted a webber carb with the k and n filter that sites on top of the carb our mechanic all so set it up to run right, but still was no good in the winter as all carb vehicles are i feel, we then sold this model to Geff here in bristol in march 2010, as we feel it was declining from not being garaged like the scarlet our other Scirocco which all so happen by not being used, so we set about getting her back on the road after selling Gracey, after our mechanic had gave her a full service changed the cam belt, after a few turns she started up not bad after not being started up since march 2004, she just needed adjusting the mixture all so put slick 50 in her which will last the life time of the engine, much much better then this bullshit gtx magnatec were there is no such thing as oil sticking to the pistons as it's name Magnatec and as it says in the ad magnets lol dont make me laugh it's another Public Enemy - Don't Believe the hype so there we go what I think about and my experience the K - Jet Injection and Carburetor engenes.

Looks good Gavin, not 100% sure about the rear lights, but a nice looking moto all the same. Bet the reg number is worth a bit too.
