Just bought a VW run-about - 1996 16V Anni
« on: July 08, 2010, 10:36:06 pm »
Since buying the Cayman, I have been looking for a Daily, and something to do the load carrying if required.

Bought this for £900, FSH, 125K miles, aircon (works well), all original Anni bits, came with a boot load of brand new VW OEM parts, 4 new falken tyres, loads of history, Interior is like brand new. one of only 150 16V anni's imported into the UK. I am the 3rd owner.

Drove it home and it gave 38MPG!  Cam belt has been changed twice in its life, but I will do it again soon, just for peace of mind.

Great car, wheels need some love (BBS Splities!), brakes need a bit of paint,  couple of rust spots, and it has Tax and test till Oct!


Quick few pics.







Not even washed it yet!

Having seen this car in the flesh, all I can say is it's an excellent car for the money. Nice honest original motor  :happy2:
Not as nice as the Porker next to it though........ :drool:
