Does Anyone Know This Car?

and the licence plate in the picture belongs to:

1999 BLACK VOLKSWAGEN TYPE 1J SEDAN
VIN/Chassis: ********5905

[Red9N3gti]

and details of the plates that are listed in the details section of the ad

1997 GREEN VOLKSWAGEN GOLF SEDAN
VIN/Chassis: ********3154

Registration details

The registration is cancelled.
The registration expired on 04/06/2014.

Which is different to what is listed on the gumtree ad, and if its in such good condition and so clean why hasn't it been registered for almost a year. Just seems to be a bit off.

Having said all of that, i'd probably still talk myself into having a look at it.

No problem, here's another one: Jimmy's VR6 build thread!

The ignition leads are the same colour if that's anything to go by.

I don't think it's the same, engine cover says "VR6 2.8" rather than "VR6 DOHC" in the ad. Head unit is different. Headlights and fogs are different. Shifter knob different. Odometer in ad says 143,000 but Jimmy bought his at 147,000

yes, but I thought there might be a possibility that they were mods from the current owner.
Engine cover confirms your thinking though.

Anyway, they should take it for a test drive and report back.

i noticed the head unit was different.. We are in SA and a friend of ours is driving it this weekend..

red9N3Gti what you informed me of is very odd..

he said to me he has four cars so thats why is not registered. he was a lil cagey tho

It's damn cheap. Would be interested as to whats on the intake manifold. But we all know there's no way to go wrong with VR6s right? haha
