DESCRIPTION

My Golf is a 16v Mk3 Anniversary 3door with 64,000 miles these were built to commemorate 20 years of the Golf 150 16v"s were built of which 21 remain registered today.

My car was first registered by A Plan insurance back in 1996 as a company car ( please see letter) it was then sold to Mr Peter Harvey in 2003, who kept it till he passed away leaving it to his Nephew who registered the Golf in Jan" 2018 but never used it so he decided to sell it to a very good friend of Peter Harvey"s in Feb" 2018 by the name of Richard Langston. Richard then put it up for sale in June 2018 ( due to giving up driving) this is when I acquired it.

Since owning the Golf I have put brand new suspension and springs on which are not far from original but better( I still have the original ones) I have had all four alloy"s which are BBS 722"S refurbished with brand new tyres which I have done roughly around 100 miles on them. I have had the steering wheel retrimmed by Royal Steering Wheels and I still have the original one.

The body work in my opinion is very good there is no rust same as underneath, the interior again in my opinion is very good there are no rips, tears or signs of wear on it, it has a/c and a electric sunroof which were extras when new. It has had a full service and a cambelt change since I have owned the car and I don"t use it that much as I have another everyday car that I use.

So overall everything works and drives as it should. The car has 2 original keys, has some service history and as I have already mentioned to you Peter did have the car serviced every year but didn"t keep any paper work. I have old tax disc"s and MOT"s but back in 2009 they put 57,000 miles instead of 55,000 miles but again was told it could not be changed after it was done.
