Importing a Mk2 2 door

**DangerDan** · 19-01-2010, 04:37 PM

I know this chant sounds like a broken record but i really, really want to get my hands on a 2 door mk2 golf, whether it be now or in a couple of years. Are there any over here at all available or is everyone holding onto them.

I've been saving pretty hard so importing can be an option, but i have no contacts in uk so getting it onto the boat would be the main issue. I have researched for weeks on the regulations so im aware of them such as it needs to be pre89. I have some shipping firms im going to get some quotes for such as taurus logistics who look pretty sound.

But any info or contacts would be great as im dead serious and will be selling the mk2 i have now for funds if it goes through.

I know its costly but im really wanting one and you only live once so i dont want to waste the opportunity.

I can hook you up with the import scenario if you are serious mate.

Hope you've been looking on www.autotrader.co.uk for some if you're thinking of importing one?

There are a few around in Australia, i was meaning to have a count up on them but never did, i reckon there is at least 20 odd kicking around? Remember the red one in Victoria that aussieg60 bought off eBay? Wonder if he still has it?

Also, if you're interested in a Corrado, i'll be in Sydney this weekend if you want to have a look at mine.

took me 2 years to find mine
keep your eyes out, one will pop up eventually

just remember if you import apparently has to be pre 90's

Pre '89 Stiggy, says in his post! Yours looks nice, good to get a 16V too, you were lucky!

Its a shame the pre '89 law rules out big bumper 16V's! Stupid import laws!!

best of luck finding one, they do pop up from time to time, saw a very nice helios blue 16v in SA a few months back... I would never sell mine to be honest its not easy to find a good example in aus.
