@Sailor im guessing you haven't tried to start them? long way for me too but tempting.... ill get some prices for collection unless they go in the mean time

No, @Drax .
If I remember rightly, the blue one conked out a few times and then stopped working altogether one day. The black one just stopped. I know I tried 'known good' distributors and a few other things, but neither has been touched for over two years.

ok thanks Sailor, ive got quotes for collecting one of them so that's not an issue - likely the black one, its just convincing the wife now im also seeing if anyone around here wants to share the project with me so it's not filling my drive the whole time

I sent you a text @drax be interested in a share mate

I dont suppose you had any clearer pics of the blue one? Depending on condition of bootlid and bumpers it may be exactly what im looking for...

@Sailor ill definitely have the black one please if it's still available, i will be fixing it up as a new daily until the wife finishes Uni in a few years time and i can swap the Passat for a classic scooby.

pm your contact details please when you get chance

The bootlid is sound, except that the torsion bar system no longer holds it open.


The bumpers and Motegi bits are structurally good, too …





… although there are plenty of stone chips lower down …



… and some spectacular lacquer peel on the back.

these are a bargain, the black one could look stunning if you spend a few thousand on it or as @drax says, mild work for a daily.

Yes, it dd look good when we originally got it.
We bought it for spares but when we got ii home, realised it was too good to break. So we cleaned it and took it to a wedding ...
... in Norway.
That Prelude taught us that we could do thousands of miles in a tin box without getting cross with each other. It made us spend our pocket money on mountain passes and lakes and ancient buildings and and.
We will almost certainly get another one at some stage.

Yep, a fabulous GT car.


Pics working fine now. Think imgr was having a fag/dump/washing it's hair, when I looked the other day.

Well, one down, one to go.
A sad day.
