A surprise addition to the family - the money was meant to be saved until I got a contract extension confirmation in Feb and then promptly spent on Ed30 mods... :grin: :grin: :wink: Could resist this near concours Mk2 GTI 16V with 73k miles when it came up on Autotrader for £4250. I drove my wife's sold Lupo GTI to work in Hook (south of Reading) from Ipswich, then drove the Lupo GTI to Lincoln to drop it off to its new owners, took a train to Durham (didn't realise how far north it was when I went past York :rolleyes:) and drove the Mk2 back to Ipswich. :evil: :evil:

Stunning collection Illyun!!! You must be a very proud man! :smiley: :smiley:

illyun
great colection of motors, love the racing blue on the r32, the mk2 looks fabulous and quite discreet on the 8v steelies
-
nice additions is there any plans for the cars now :evilgrin:
-
Very nice set of cars there. Congrats on the new purchase :happy2:
-
very nice collection illyun, is it not you with the mint mk1 aswell? :smiley:
-
I LOVE THAT R32!!!!
-
wow £4200 for the mk2 its good to see prices have been going up as mines like that / mint and not modded but with 110k on the clock and a J plate i just need to mot mine and get it sold i think. u are as bad as me with the dubs :happy2: great cars fella
-
Thanks for the comments guys... Thats the Mk1 in the garage hiding behind the R32 :grin: :grin: :grin: Prices for a mint Mk2 16v have gone up but they're worth every penny. I've had a few Mk2's - thread and pics of all previous dubs coming soon :evilgrin: - and they were a bit cheaper a couple of years ago, but low mileage mint ones are getting scarce. In fact I've been looking for a year now and only seen two low mileage Mk2 16vs with 3-doors and big bumpers. I sold a minter 3 years ago to get my first new car ever - Mk5 GTI. It had 56k on the clock, Tornado Red, big bumpers and drove like new - for £4850. At the time it was a good price, but it would have been worth even more now.

Quite soundly as although I have a double garage I need to get a garden shed in pronto to dump all the rubbish cluttered on one side so I don't actually have room at the moment for all the cars :embarrassed: I told VW to keep it until next week. :grin:
