Rarest VW in the country....well maybe?
Right then, details:
1981 VW Passat GLS 5 Auto
(According to www.howmanyleft.co.uk/ this is 1 of only 2 GLS 5 auto’s left in the UK)
90,000ish miles on clock
MOT Sept 2013
Tax march 2013
Price: £2000 open to offers
Located in Birmingham
History:
This was my mates moms car since 1984 and has been looks after regardless of cost since she got it as a wedding anniversary present all those years ago. I remember having lifts in this car when I was at school to football games and youth clubs etc. (I'm 33 now)
She gave up driving in sept 2011 and left it in the garage as she didn’t want to part with it. I convinced her to part with it September 2012 and promised her it would go to a good home as we have a few other old VW’s.
I would love to keep it but an old Volvo has got my name on it, and apparently I have got too many cars, so the passat has to go.
This car has a huge folder of history, every receipt for service, fluid change, wiper blade change, tires, exhaust, etc. is included.
Wasn’t sure if I should do anything to this as its so original, my preference for my cars is to be slammed and rimmed, and so far have have managed to restrain myself to putting some new spax 35mm springs in it (audi 80 type 81). So its sitting a little lower than in the pictures. Original springs supplies
I have also put a new(old) radio/tape player and changed the thermostat.
Its rust free bar a few small bubbles on one arch and completly original. The lady must have scuffed it in a few places as there are a few spots where its been touched up with a rattle can
The interior is red and spotless
Its still got all the curse word stickers shown in the pictures

good bits:
Webber carb
Spax 35mm drop springs
Awesome 1 speaker stereo system, in dash speaker
5 original alloys
Bad bits:
Fuel gauge and temp gauge don’t work unless its below freezing out side... random I know, they both work and stop working at the same time, electric fan cuts in on temperature so cooling ok.
Gas struts don’t hold the weight of the boot lid
Radiator is missing the shroud / ducting
Bumpers have been painted black and this is peeling in areas.
In my opinion this either needs to be restored to original condition or dropped on its ass and given a set of nice shoes.... but the choice is yours.
I have probably missed load off the add, fell free to call me.
