The Penguin Posted July 15, 2017 Report Share Posted July 15, 2017 (edited) it's been for sale for a long time Brampton, NE Cumbria just off the M6 on the A69 https://www.gumtree.com/p/volkswagen/volkswagen-lupo-1.6-2001my-gti-3dr-px-to-clear-/1229811737 this is a cheap on too and its 6 speed https://www.gumtree.com/p/volkswagen/vw-lupo-gti-service-history.-6-speed/1242868914 Edited July 15, 2017 by The Penguin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sausage Posted July 15, 2017 Report Share Posted July 15, 2017 (edited) Ideal track car is dealer parlance for the ID is suspect would be my hunch, so the fact that he wont mot it is because either he cant (no vin) or it is suspect and he doesnt want it flagged up on databases. So it is what it is, parts or a track day car most likely. But if you are interested you really need to go see it and get the story and triple check the vin is looking right and matches any docs with it. But we could just be reading too much into that and it is just a dealer in higher end stuff and cant be arsed messing around getting an old clunker thru and MOT.

mickster Posted July 15, 2017 Report Share Posted July 15, 2017 This has been around for months! Think it started out at £2000 or there abouts and has gotten progressively cheaper as the weeks have gone by. I love the mismatched pedals, really completes the rough-around-the-edges look! Personally my £1000 would go on this: http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201707127314066?sort=price-asc&make=VOLKSWAGEN&postcode=bn18hh&onesearchad=Used&onesearchad=Nearly New&onesearchad=New&advertising-location=at_cars&model=LUPO&radius=1500&keywords=gti&page=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least the history is known and it's not been mucked about with. Sure the high mileage isn't great but it's got the bonus of the raven factor.

Rich Posted July 16, 2017 Report Share Posted July 16, 2017 high mileage is surprising as these engines are always at high revs which does cause wear. fitting new rings isn't the end of the world though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
