Have been vaguely looking at getting a syncro again since I might be able to afford to run one again now…! Anyway, looking for a relatively ‘vanilla’ syncro though am willing to put a bit of time into it. Weber rather than pierburg would be nice, and RHD is a must… but otherwise not too fussy! Anyone selling anything like that?
PS: I’m in London, but I’ll travel a bit for the right deal
*bump*
…I’m back in the game! Currently digging around ebay, but looking for something as above… Have seen a syncro on ebay around watford area – that anyone on here?

And one here that has just ended, I don’t know if it sold though!

First one was the one I’d seen, located in watford… Did you notice it’s comedically lacking a steering wheel in one of the pics? I hope it’s included []
I asked this guy to put some more photos on, and he did:

Now for the Stupid Question – is that actually a PB GTI engine? That looks exactly like my previous, normal syncro engine bay looked… probably being stupid!
No its not a PB GTI engine, it has a PB GTI head fitted (bigger inlet valves) & also a Weber Carb it should be making just over 100 bhp,
It actually belongs to Eddy Young, member EDDY on here,
He has done a lot of work to keep the car in top condition.

Sweet – confirmation of me being stupid [] – added to watch list! It looks like eddy’s done all the work I couldn’t afford on mine when I was a student… []
One more question about this one:

I’m probably gonna go and view it on sunday, since it’s relatively close to where I’ll be. Any idea if it belongs to anyone on here?
It looks like it’s *relatively* standard, apart from the interior and the new cluth, as well as various other upgrades (steering wheel, a few exterior mods etc) – ie cosmetic stuff. Anyway, it didn’t sell yesterday – he’s got a price on it (and presumably reserve) of £2000 – is that a little unrealistic?
I don’t recognise it, but that doesn’t mean it is not some one on here who owns it.
