Somthing that just occurred to me looking at those first two cars, did MK2's come 'optional' with rear window demisters?
The things I pick up on...

[Stiggy_21]

hey your right.. replaced rear windows.
also the auto's rear wiper is in the wrong position?

That's the old lay flat wiper mod, i like it better sitting there, clearer vision out of the rear window

How would these things go as a daily?
If maintained appropriately, are they reliable or getting a bit too old?
Just thought I'd ask before taking the plunge..
Cheers

Mine is a winter daily (cos air cond is not working)
I'd say every Mk2 new owner expect to spend 1 to 2K to sort a few things up, then it'll be a very reliable daily car. Yes they are old but not expensive to repair.

^ Thanks Red.
The initial purchase won't break the budget so I'll have some $$ up my sleeve to get it sorted if (when) needed.
Appreciate the help

I've been dailying a MK2 on and off for the last 10 years through both English winters and Australian summers.

Keep on top of the maintenance, service it every now & then and don't expect the 'luxuries' of a modern car and you'll enjoy every journey

Also the auto appears to have no aerial (unless its an automatic one? hiding in the right fender....)
Actually, I can't see aerials on either of the first two cars?
