Is that Schwartz Bleu?

I made a dreadful mistake last year, one of many I hasten to add I tend to act spontaneously, I sold an ultra rare Schwartz Bleu 1991 16v GTI!

The worst thing? After hunting high and low I paid £1900 from an 'enthusiast'. Turned out to be a right dog, spent loads of dosh getting her right, bought a low mileage Mk2 G60 in the meantime then sold it, stupidly, for about £600!

Made a profit on the G60 though, only had 79,000 miles on the clock and I rebuilt the charger for pittance.

The 16v was catagorically one of the best cars I had driven after I had sorted it and I want another!

wife says no!
