UK car- Jetta GT Special

[re2]

after chasing this car for a while, I finally managed to get it- a bit more £ than Id hoped as the pics I was given dont match the current condition anymore, but its all straight and honest and need a light restoration. My 16v KR will kindly be donating a few parts to repair the GT and there are a multitude of very small light rust patches all over the place









The original steering wheel is there as well as the original fogs too. I beleive its a zender Z6 kit with a zender grill (corrected ta Ant). The car previously belonged to a chap called Mick who has known this car for years and it has previously featured in the now defunkt Revs magazine (id love a copy but they stopped publishing in '05). The car used to belong to the directors wife of Milton Keynes and has probably had the grill on right from the start. I have all the spares I need to restore it to standard as in the flyer below



Here is an article about one of its brethren from Performance Car May '86

There was also an article in Volkswagen Driver a couple months back.

ive also got that article too. Apparently the car ive bought was in an article many moons ago, but the previous owner was a bit sketchy about the date and the mag is no longer published

i think it was in Fast Car or something like that- Ill email the previous owner and try and find out. Im always interested in GTI Engineering stuff if you ever come across it too
thanks!

The Jetta 2 was a classic car,and put VW firmly on the map in China,South Africa,and America.
Is still the top selling car in China,with over 200000 units sold last year...
