Hi all,
Got that desire again for a Bx 16V
I'd prefer a Phase 1 but a Phase 2 is more than acceptable (don't tell Timmo
)
If anybody knows of one, please keep me posted.
Money wise, I would consider a restoration project for beer change or will pay top money for the right good condition car.
Thanks,
Mike P.

Hi Mike P,
I'm also looking for a 16v, so if you don't come back with one or the other then would it be possible to have some information on the one you don't end up with? I've already been in touch with Geoff over the phase 1 GTI but he seems to need to free up some space quicker than I can take it off his hands.
Anyway if you could let me know what happens over the weekend that would be great.
Cheers,
Will

Maybe
The Phase 2 is a no (but will pass details onto other people)
The Phase 1 I'm giving a lot of consideration too. Might be off to view another Phase 1 this weekend, then got to make a decision.
Will keep you posted,

Congratulations Mike
... Just remember when there is a huge green puddle and skinned knuckles you brought it on yourself
I'm glad you've found one.

We've been in touch, they have someone going to have a look and if they don't take they will email me.
I take that to mean two things, one they expect the people on Sunday to buy it and two, if they don't it could be worse that we think. If it's still there after the weekend I'll go look at it and may take thanuttiscotsman with me if he's available.
So basically I'm still looking
