Just checked to see if my old Pug is still on the road. Looks like it is going by the DVLA.
H219 SWU. Sold it to a gent on here back in 2001. :cool: |
My single biggest motoring regret was to sell my '89 Graphite 1.9 GTi. I bought the car as completely clean and standard for £2500 in July 98, by the end of the year it had been up to Morecombe to have a stay over at LADs workshop where it had the complete refresh package.
That consisted of new springs/struts, torsion bar adjust, poly bushed, new grooved and vented discs c/w fast road pads, complete strip down and rebuild of engine with head work and a fast road cam, and also a group N exhaut and air filter, oh and a fast road clutch kit too. That little lot cost £2500 and gave me essentially a new car with more power, as it was up to 160bhp. Fun Fun Fun Fun Fun. Ended up wanting more though and px'd it in for £2500 in the September to get my first Pulsar GTiR. I dont regret getting the Nissan, but I do regret selling the Pug. http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i2...Bike/PUG02.jpg http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i2...Bike/PUG01.jpg I might be selling my Passat TDi soon though, and I do keep thinking about doing all this again. |
Just checked the DVLA website, and its still on the road !!!!!!!!

I sold the car on in 2004 I believe. I've got a mint low mileage 1.9 Miami 205 GTi now as a Show car. :)
Old thread but that 205 GTI is still on the road. MOT'd but SORN'd :). https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...c728b186e1.png |
Yeah the guy who bought it wanted to turn it into a Rally car. I paid £800 for the car and sold it for something like £740 on Ebay to him. A week later he was back wanting to buy a pair of front seats I'd picked up but never fitted.
Good engine in H219SWU, went like a rocket, bags of torque for an 8v. |
