Importing Mk2's

[GoLfMan]

Thats another can of worms. Are there any 3door Mk3's or are they just as rare?

no where near as rare mate, but they only came in the base model CL and some are ridiculously cheap as they are high kms cars now, so basically perfect for 1.8t conversions

You know i didn't even look into that possibility because i've never seen any, but you've planted a seed.

Still would love a to get a mint MK2 16v over here but if the import alone is 10k on top of up to 4000 pounds just for the car, its a bit much.

Just have to pick some winning numbers tonight.

I reckon get two in a container and split the cost.
You can bring em without restriction, as long as they are pre 89.
Sciroccos and Caddys are ok too. No corrados or 2 door vr6s.
You cound get a cheap 8v GTI and just sling a 16v in when it gets here.

i am with loon, a container with 2 in wont be that bad.

4 grand for a mint golf! if you are looking to import to sell on NO ONE will pay$15- $18k for a mk2 lol

Or sqeeze a few 16v engines in the container.

Can you do that?
I'm thinking a MK2 16v and a caddy with a truck bed full of parts.......

I meant all up inc the car. Seen some tidy mk2's still around 2000 pounds.

Its not really an issue of wether its cheaper or not, although cost is a big issue, its about getting a good car over here that otherwise wouldn't have been available.

For example a really mint 3 door 16v.

Problem with UK cars is they are rot boxes.
