Desirability isn't just about it being a full on classic, someone could have lost their virginity in one of these bad boys and wants to relive their youth, fingers crossed

It’s certainly not desirable to me as a classic, therefore IMO it’s not desirable. As a usable practicle classic yes, but as an investment no. Has anyone ever looked at a 93 Golf 1.4 Ryder and thought WOW, what an amazing piece of automotive historical machinery. The answer is NO, just because it’s old doesn’t mean it’s an investment.

What??? Someone will lose sleep over this, for sure. @david gott, list it on AT at £3000 exactly and publish the weekly response stats here please. +1 That's a valid strategy, sometimes the "it's too good to be true" brigade needs reassurance that they are looking at something really rare and genuine. What better reassurance than asking the highest price in the country.

Nick, I'll quote you on this 'fortune favours the brave'

LIKE.....LOL.......LIKE......LOL

I reckon it would be gone within 14 days at £2500

You absolutely have to advertise it for £3000, keep it there for a while and then drop gradually. Even if you paid £300 for it it doesn't mean you can not try and ask crazy money just in case there is a crazy person there. Or if our friends at Pistonheads are reading this: just in case it's a person who really knows the modern classic car market. Write in the advert: eligible for classic car insurance and that the one previous owner was an avid car collector. Let's face it, he kept it 25 years, he must've been. And let it rust in peace? Noooo. Let someone else enjoy that slice of Wolfsburg history... That particular model Golf has the distinction of being their worst of all time so some might say it is an "important" car.

Ebay auction , some looney will scoop that up for daft money , thinking investment To buy, I'd have offered £150 px

Was it the wrong car that got entered on the system? We have a fiat cubo with very low mileage, a chap came to look at it, he had the exact same cubo with virtually the same reg, just 1 number was different.

you will be old one day young man and ill kick your stick away

Funny that, a Tom Stone used to work for Close Brothers and do it for free. And your user is Tom... Anyway, can only echo what everyone else says. Any finance company will come out and do it for free, a few friends of mine got stung (through their own stupidity really) on this and i’d prefer no one else falls into it.

For £300 I’ll send you the number of a Close Brothers rep who will help you do it for free.

Come on... please? This is spam.... He blatantly works for a company that fills in forms for people.

This happened to a friend of ours .started selling from home , Neighbours got very jealous and reported him . Planning man came round , took reg of cars to check they were reg to him . Result is planning won , he moved to a unit and gone from good to better doing the job so it worked out great for him . At home he bought 4 bangers , and I mean bangers , rusty bangers , MOT and insurance later they were parked out side his house for the neighbours to look at . Didn't like decent clean cars on his drive he says so now his 30k car sits on the drive and the bangers on the road all outside his house , They tried moving them to NO avail, reg to his wife insured on MID and they all have an MOT and tax . Been there two years now . One neighbour complained about the state of them so he painted two of them with house emulsion paint in pink Jealousy !!!!!, route of all evil they say Hope it works out for you Marc
