All the very best for the op. 

Looks a decent amount of rammle floating around Turkey... I'm off to Kefalonia in June so hope to do a good amount of spotting there... although the moderns are slowly making inroads now.

Pictured here beside my neighbour's MK2 Polo* 

The size difference is interesting

*The Polo is owned by a young lad across from us, who inherited it from his grandfather, and he's been running it as a daily for a couple of years now. In honour of his grandad he will not restore it or 'improve' it at all, choosing to keep the mismatched wheel trims and missing trim bits as they were when his grandad had it. He's only done essential mechanical jobs, such as welding, carburettor overhaul and head gasket. I have mentioned autoshite to him before, I think he'd fit it well here!

So...

The Fox may be leaving.

I've agreed a swap deal with something VERY interesting. 

I'll be keeping the private plate for my new vehicle. 

No more info as I don't want to jinx the deal. 😊

Clues-

Older. Much older.

Still small and red.

Swapped it over, made it 8 miles before heavy traffic and a non existent fan meant I had to pull over. 

Waited a while, bled some air out and off we went

Even got a fuel station shot.
