Hi, I'm hoping that the lovely moderators accept this post as it is a genuine offer. The background: I moved to Australia two years ago anticipating being back in the UK within twelve months. I have now bought a house and have no plans to return to the UK any time soon. This means that the 2006 (55 plate) Tornado Red MkV Golf GTI I left on my parents' drive in Staffordshire is no longer needed and I would like it to go to a good home. It has been SORN for two years but was running well before that, from memory it has done around 140k miles. It's not perfect - both front wings need rust repair, the passenger side track rod is bent (still perfectly driveable) and the cam belt is due for replacement (this has been done twice since I bought the car in 2014). The interior is in good condition and features black leather heated seats. It's on 18-inch wheels that have been painted gun metal grey to cover corrosion. I'm afraid I don't have any pictures of the car. I realise that I won't have any control over what happens to the car under its new owner, but I would like it to go to someone who will get it back on the road rather than use it as a donor. Obviously will require collection with a truck as has no tax or MOT.
