I prefer but always willing to discuss;

- Mk3 Coupe
- Registered, running, roadworthy (MOT, NCT, APK or equivalent). Drive away prefered but as long as I can get it on a trailer. A rolling restoration is fine.
- Preferably on the Northern end of mainland Europe, but Ireland (Rep. & Northern), GB are fine.
- I have an address in Northern Ireland and Rep.of Ireland, otherwise I have experience of importing into Sweden.
- I’ve been watching the market for 2 years, so price is paid based on condition however it doesnt stretch to a fully restored version.
- Please get in touch with details, preferably with pictures and a price you are considering.

I have feelers out via a number of sources & can wait for the right car. I am ready today to purchase i.e. money in the bank, willing to buy quickly and sort out transport around your availability.

Cheers

Is there nothing in the for sale section here that would be interesting Jonnie? There's been a few added since you posted the original advert.

Thanks Rich, appreciate the suggestion. It has been partially from my side that has created a long lead time. One project I had became a money pit which necesitated a new cylinderhead from Australia and a considerable delay in selling it! This sadly prevented me from picking up the car that was given away in Germany (that came to Sweden when I tipped off a fellow Swedish member). The money pit is all fixed & sold now.

I believe I know most of the cars for sale today, even those not advertised. I have ongoing discussions where sellers arent decided if they will sell, others unsure of the asking price. So I thought I’d update here incase there was anything else out there that someone was considering selling.

Best of luck with it, I remember all too well the difficulty in finding the right one.
