Karl Wheeldon Posted March 3, 2022 Report Share Posted March 3, 2022 Just spotted a silver Gti for sale on gumtree. Don't know if it's still available as my wife won't let me enquire about it, as I already have two Lupo's. If it is, it needs rescuing by an enthusiast before ending up in a breakers.

mickster Posted March 4, 2022 Report Share Posted March 4, 2022 Doesn't look like it lasted long unless my searching skills are severely lacking! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karl Wheeldon Posted March 4, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2022 Just looked again and it's still there in my search. I just typed in vw lupo, United Kingdom , All Adds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickster Posted March 4, 2022 Report Share Posted March 4, 2022 Can you post a link? I've even put KY6 in as location and nothing comes up😒 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karl Wheeldon Posted March 4, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2022 If it's still there for much longer I'll go get it and let my wife find out when it's on the drive!😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mk2 Posted March 4, 2022 Report Share Posted March 4, 2022 Rare find. Wow this'll be sold by tomorrow I reckon. Especially at that price. No MOT. Lots of structural and suspension component corrosion. Someone needs to be a good welder. Engine emission issues- suspect some engine problems Brakes. Tyres. Will need to be trailered home. All the mechanical stuff is easy peezy. No indication on interior condition. But there are quite a few being broken in Germany if you need a new driver's seat (upholstery), as it's the lessor used passenger seat over there 😀 It's how I restored all my Lupo interiors 👍🏻 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karl Wheeldon Posted March 5, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2022 Yes I agree, It should be good opportunity for whoever buys or bought it to get a Gti without shelling out mega money straight out ,and restoring it in their own time.👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No matter what I do if I search for lupo it defaults to the cars category, which is why this wasn't coming up. I hope someone rescues that, if it were drivable (or not 600+ miles away from me) I'd be tempted to take a look. Interesting that in July 19 someone must have shelled out a few quid to fix the huge list of failures as it passed again with just one advisory!

mk2 Posted March 5, 2022 Report Share Posted March 5, 2022 (edited) Ok, I've found a shipping company who can transport it down to me here in Reading for £400. I don't have the time right now to work on it, but I do have a vacant car slot to dry store it... So I'm gonna go for it. Late edit: I can't find it anywhere! Has it been sold? Anyone?!

mk2 Posted March 6, 2022 Report Share Posted March 6, 2022 Nada. Link doesn't work. If it works, might just be a cached copy? Me thinks it's been sold? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lupo1.0se Posted March 6, 2022 Report Share Posted March 6, 2022 I had issus with finding it on Gumtree. It was only when a friend found the link he sent it to me. Not sure why. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickster Posted March 6, 2022 Report Share Posted March 6, 2022 It's as if it is some kind of mirage! Link above still works for me, maybe try in a private browser window or maybe this link to the seller might give you access? https://www.gumtree.com/sellerads/1426470336?page=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Penguin Posted March 6, 2022 Report Share Posted March 6, 2022 Its in the rust zone, be careful, its a Scots car too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mk2 Posted March 6, 2022 Report Share Posted March 6, 2022 (edited) Ok, this is really doing my head in now... I can click on the link, which shows me a 'teaser' ad. When I click on that it says, "oops, please reload or try again later". Grrr. It's like I'm being blocked. Tried VPN, regular window, desktop browser, different browser, different devices and private browsing. Maybe that's why it hasn't sold? Or maybe why it's still listed...? Yeah i know it's rusty. I can weld. Just tried another way into gumtree. Then when I do a nationwide UK search it, comes up with 4 gtis, but not this one. So frustrating. Edited March 6, 2022 by mk2 Arggghhhh!
