Mk2 VW Passat Saloon


Recommended Posts

Hello Everybody, 

 

This has been in my ownership for a while now & has been my daily for nearly two years. The constant earache off Mrs Grundig & need for space has led me to the decision to move this on 

 

1986 (D reg) 1.8 four cylinder engine (carb is a NOS webber with manual choke) , GL trim level, Jade green metallic paint Grey velour interior (except the headlining as this is missing(but I still have the base board(although its not in very good condition cos fragile innit)

 

showing its 30 odd years 

 

Mileage is showing over 309,000 but this is not true as the first digit moves around at its own will 

 

Temp & fuel gauge have a casual attitude to employment as do 3 of the 4 electric windows (Drivers one works fine) some rust here n there but solid

 

It has a towbar & single electrics 

 

MOT sept 2017 & get you home Tax

Location - Cheshire 

OFFERS - space more important than £'s

Serious irrational want for this. Irrational because saloon, but my dad had hatch and estate ones in the '80s. Hopefully it can avoid a desperate VW pineapple-type fate.

^ THIS !

 

Is there a guide price for this Germanic beauty* ?

I'm confused, its a Santana but badged as a Passat? Were all late Santanas badged as Pissrats?

Face-lifted in 1985, after that the Santana just became a Passat. Must be pretty rare, as the saloon Passat-badged B2 was only made from 1985-88, and Santana saloons aren't that common.

 

This is absolutely bloody lovely.

Without meaning to cause offence I'll start the bidding at £400.

I'll just dribble quietly in the corner... no money, no hope. Good luck with the sail etc.

The photos flatter the car somewhat, so here are a few more;

I would love this but it's already gone beyond my meagre budget.

Posted

This really should be some sort of 'reverse auction' and therefore offer £100 with the promise it'll be re-advertised for at least 5.5 times that the moment I get home.

Bonus Item included in the sale, I was going to put this in the Passat but never got round to it, I don't know what make it is ( box states that it was made in Japan)

Maybe I'm just stupid because I'm not particularly young anymore;

 

Where did radios used to go if that box feels the need to proclaim '....custom built in look'?

They fitted behind the dash with the controls left and right coming through and a small letter box poking out the middle, as opposed to the full din size with optional cut out by blind idiot with a butter knife surround.

Got to be worth at least £500. I hope it goes to a proper enthusiast, as opposed to a pineappler.

Funny you should say that, that's exactly what the radio installation on my dad's Marina looked like...

Posted

Stereo and Passat are both very fabulous.

 

I'm puzzled by the stereo box artwork: I know Formula One has changed a lot but did the Tyrrell six-wheeler really have a no-brand Japanese radio/cassette fitted?

Posted

It's quite a powerful stereo isn't it, 25w x 25w = 625w!

My friend had the hatch of one of these... lovely torquey motor compared to my 1.6 BX at the time... he'd always be able to get up hills in 3rd where I'd be racing in 2nd...

 

Carb used to freeze fairly regularly in cold weather... remember waiting for it to unfreeze on the way to Ikea Birmingham.

I promised myself no long journeys for my next car! How about £600 + my 1987 Mazda 121?
