Looking for a Mk2 GTi

[sub39h]

I will be buying a mk2 16v in the new year, as a toy. I had one back in 1991, and it was a fatastic car, mine was a D plate with 1/4 lights, but I will be after a big bumper 3 or 5 door model in oak green.
Have fun trying to find the right car

is there any reason Oak green is such a sought after colour?

Its not really rare. There are loads of them. But it is a very nice colour. Have you ever seen it up close? The flake is lovely in the paint in the sun.

but it's GREEN. each to their own and all that but after white it's the worst colour for a car imho (and i mean that with no offence to anyone with a green or white car)

Cracking cars, good luck with your search. Seen some "fairly" good ones on Pistonheads. Saw a beauty (in Oak Green)  for just under 3k but with 11 previous owners and 170k on the clock

You are entitled to an opinion. In my opinion you are wrong.

world would be boring if we all had the same opinions

Black is MORE dull than white imo. You cant even see the lines of a car properly in black.

I bought an oak green 8v mk2 from Volkswizard a couple of years ago. Was absolutely mint. ended up selling it cos it was too good for me to use as my daily and had no space to keep a second car.

And you can't see reflections in white. Swings and round abouts - each to their own.

What?

Which reflections cant you see here exactly?

i'm not trying to have an argument with you, and as i've stated i didn't mean to cause offense. i don't like white on cars. rational or irrational, it's my opinion and i'm entitled to it.

back on topic now, that's not what this thread is about. if you feel THAT strongly about trying to change my opinion there is a PM system for that - but i'd advise you not to waste your time.

You get reflections in white, but they're nowhere what you get from a black car. Reflections are ultimately what defines the lines of a car. Both are a total pain to keep clean.

I like Oak Green, it suits the older shape, but you have to admit, it would look naff on a modern car.

Agreed, Oak Green is for MK2's only
