Vw golf 1.6 driver 1989 specifically : Any good ? Anyone owned one ? , body work seems immaculate , engine im not familiar with    Gathering classic status pretty fast .

Classic status? It's a fickin 1.6 golf, and not even a particularly good one.

Fair enuff

If I owned a scrapyard, I would keep hold of all of my stock, it will be classic one day.

I think the omega has some way to go to become a classic yet but a worth while car to hang on to

We all have very fond memories of the cars we used to drive, I loved my triumph herald. But if we jumped in them now, I would imagine we'd be very disappointed.

Have you seen the price of a 1971 1300L Escort recently?


Hell, I wish I still had the tidy, rustfree 1981 1.6GL Cortina that I sold 17 years ago for £75.

Because it is good as a car. And will be for sometime. There are  a lot of old cars that this applies to, and a lot more that are  just toys. It's not hard to figure out which ones are worth cost the most.

Mk2 Golf body
1.6 (75 bhp) bombproof engine (may have the 1.8 / 90bhp carb engine too)
GTI suspension and iirc, interior 

A good car in its day and yes, they are going up in price if in good nick

A two door Golf VR6 holds a certain appeal.

Picky up a 'ratty' one for less than £1000.

Since when has classic status been remotely linked to being a good car?  . I'd pick it up if its clean and I had the space.

A car is worth what somebody is willing to pay for it. If a group of fifty somethings fancy a thirty year old, mass-produced ford and are willing to part with their hard-earned to spend hours 'fixing' something that wouldn't pull you out of bed.......who am I to disagree?

At 160 bhp, that engine was a blinder.

Still one of my favourites of all the cars I have owned...
