I car I've always wanted.
Attempted I buy this over a year ago but the seller pulled out at the last minute and got in touch a month ago asking would I still be interested.

Car has been sitting for 5 years, occasionally started and moved. Will take some recommissioning but have undertaken the minimum to get in MOT'd.

Plans are to replace and update suspension components, brakes, timing belt, full service and finally paint work.

I thought the wrc ones were the only ones that were white?

I loved mine, tried to buy it back few times after I sold it but the guy kept it for a long time and doubled the miles from 60-120ish.

Someone on here said they bought it to export, then had a random guy who joined the forum using “wrc vrs” or something similar as a user name searching for the car to buy.

White non WRC cars were mostly ex police, and most came with Xenons, iirc, they weren't sold to the general public. I've a brochure I must look at again.
Golf mk4 black carpets are a straight swap and make a world of difference.

Yea this white one had no xenon's but randomly had factory reverse sensors. Was very nippy too.
Have done the black carpets on my last Vrs hatch.
Hard to get a black carpets in decent plush condition.

Love it mate, I always remember you wanting one. All it needs some 17s. Not sure why they put 16s on the estates they look so small.

Loved mine to so since we are all pic hijacking..

That is also my old car lol if the plate was KE03 ONS - funny story It had a problem with the clocks and I dropped it into Howard Abraham in Lurgan to get it fixed it went in with 65,000 miles and came out with 121,000 they had no reason as to why that had happened and said all they could do was write down on the receipt that the miles where wrong and they had no way of fixing it.

Lol! I cant remember what miles where on it when I had it. Pretty sure it read under 100k so either someone fixed it, or someone clocked it lol. Yes I remember u saying to me that you owned it before.
