    Just Another Mk1 LOL
    If they start costing money were all going to stop enjoying them
    This is not an Investment car for at least another 20 years and even then you would be better of buying other cars for an investment
    .... Thats reality some goose will probably buy it for 11k lol ^^^

    So 20 years ago makes that 1996 not 1976.
    Who is to say that it didn't get any moisture in it in the first 20 years,I'd seen the poorly built LS's with water leaks while still quite new.
    Then had another 30 years to fester.Not my cup of tea for 11k.

    Worth every penny.
    We'd all love to have it. It's in great condition - look at that interior, the dashboard.
    It would take more that $11k to get a Mk1 to that condition
    And Australian assembled - how rare is that?

    Yep, it sold - for too much money. You can comfortably import a very nice Mk1 GTI from the UK for under $15k landed. For this reason alone, a flimsy LS, with almost no undersealing and comically bad build quality is just not worth $11k.

    Were it a GLS, $8k might have been reasonable, but LSs are, sadly, absolute junk without a lot of time/money being spent to bring them up to a remotely decent quality standard.
