I 2nd that! Cool

Tornado Red is a fav of mine providing its been looked after. There are the odd Tornado Pink variants knocking about which would be enough to put alot of peeps off tho Laughing

Is it the 1.6 or 1.8 driver bty the way?

it's a 1.6,

she'd just had the welding done to put it through the MOT,

but it has 237k on the clock???

that's why its so hard to decide

Don't get me wrong but is there something that really sets this mk2 apart from others out there? I take it your looking at swapping with the owner of it with your mk3?

I've always been into mk2s and though the mileage is a bit on the high on this driver, if its been well looked after and theres history to back it up then there should be plenty of life left in the old girl yet Smile

If you really want a mk2 whats stopping you from having a good look at what else is out there be it on pistonheads, ebay, owners club forums etc then possibly selling your mk3 on.

Just think it through, do your homework and importantly dont make hasty rash decisions Laughing
