Swap Golf GTI for classic?

Jul 31, 2003 5 Replies

Although some would argue it was a classic...



I'm bored. Anyone want to swap my 1990 5dr GTI for a classic car? Rover V8 (SD1 or P6), Citroen CX, Triumph 2500, Jaguar SIII XJ6 without too much wrong with it? Anything?

All good choices... in fact, I think I'll try and swap my LHD 1985 Mk2 Golf GTi 3dr for any of the above an all.

Hmmm, I better give more info. Mine's a 1990 H, RHD, and has just hit

100,000 miles...

My last Rover P6 cost £650, FWIW, though it needed some work. SD1s should be around £500-1500 (saw one on AdTrader, but it was way down south). CX is worth a grand unless it's something very special. Don't know about Triumphs at all. The Jaguars are worthless unless mint; I was offered a 1990 G Daimler Sovereign, but it's not really my cup of tea - it's got the later instruments!

750 quid then...

That was cheap if it was good...

FWIW, though it needed some work. SD1s

500 quid one will be crap...

A CX worth a grand would be something very special!

All wonderful but not worth much unless its a Stag TR6 or Sprint. I like 1850 Dolomites as anyone on here will know by now...

How true....my series 3 is worth less than Ive spent on the respray...:-( Still I love it and thats not what its about is it? Get a S3 Sov...lovely why not have a V12 and go the whole 9 yards...

This may well have been mentioned cos mine's LHD with 392000 KM and a B reg,

100000 miles? Pah! Not even run in!

about right, mine's worth £500 ish.

I paid £1100 for a V8 P6 years ago, and it wasn't much good..

As long as it's V8, got an MOT and runs ok, it'll do me

I don't want something special, I'd even go for a £500 280E W123 Merc again, they're cheap for a tidy one..

A banana yellow 2500S... I'd like one of them

Had a V12 XJS once, great when they run right, I'm led to believe.. ah well, they smell nice when you're waiting for the AA.

Closer to £1100 - never been modified or crashed. It's pretty unusual in that regard ;)
