jonvr6highline 0 Posted January 2, 2007 Report Share Posted January 2, 2007 Very nice.As I said before, I had a black Sportline for a couple of years before I had the Highline (which is also now sold).Been looking for a MK3.5 Colour Concept Cabriolet in black for the last few months, but having no joy yet. Only seen a couple and both had dodgy history.http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y199/jonvr6highline/SportlineCAb1.jpg EDIT: removed img tags from image cus it was too big...

purple highline monster 0 Posted January 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 hey thats my old car loved that car to bits sold that to my apprentice to buy my vr in 2002What this actual sportline? love to have any info you can give me on it if this was your old car, far as i can tell its a very original motor, think its had a drop of paint at some point but then what hasnt by the time its 14 ???? i have every mot for it and quite a bit of history but no service book! not too fussed as it is very very good mechanically and body wise, always good to have info from a previous owner though Link to post Share on other sites
wayne_1@tiscali.co.uk 27 Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 yes its def my old car looking at photo of it now in my album def a good car i know as some bloke came round to buy it when it was up for sale and then he called the police as he said it was his as his one was stolen but his one was black he called the police and they asked me to take it in so they could strip it and test it but they found nothing all red on floor chassis etc complemented me on how clean it was for its age had new elec window motor on drivers side,elec motor for roof and afew bushes on car i know my apprentice had a respray as he had a slight accident in front of car i think wing bumper grill and head lights changed nothing major but he always had it cleaned,valet every week he lived in waltham abbey there was no history when i bought it either i bought it off a car dealer in edmonton Link to post Share on other sites
Mr_GTI 0 Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 I can think of two words if the police asked me to give them one of my cars to strip down to prove it was mine....... one of them is OFF!! Link to post Share on other sites

katconcarne 0 Posted January 9, 2007 Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 drool, when i first bought the vr it was only because i couldn't find a clean enough cabby and the vr was cheaper than any i did see. wouldn't change the vr for one now, but when i see a lovely one like yours nick it makes me a little jealous!nice car you lucky mf!

purple highline monster 0 Posted January 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 thanks Kat, fortunately i didnt pay anywhere near what its worth! about 1/2 the going rate , it needed a couple of front shocks and top mounts, i put the original vw rear lamps back on as someone had changed them, and i have sorted a couple of minor niggles with it too, just silly things though like h/brake adjustment and tidying up someone elses idea of cleaning!, cars totaly standard so i am very happy with it, drives really nice, and the Recaros, leccy hood and windows are cool too, just gotta get some nice weather now! so ican bomb around in it (6) Link to post Share on other sites
