My G40 is up for sale.
I bought this car in 2008.
After being stood since 2009 after it melted piston it has had a new engine fitted (sourced from Polo Performance Parts) this engine has had the previously fitted Big Valve Head installed with VW gaskets, bolts and a new cam belt.
The car has now been in use every day since March 2014 and has been running spot on with no issues and doing around approx. 120 miles a week.
Car is generally in very good condition but could easily be made perfect with someone else’s attention and wallet… After £5k + input into this car, I can’t warrant anymore.
I’ve got back in it after the melted piston in 2009 this year and settled the score with myself so I’ll never be wondering what if before I let it go.
