Got my first Mk1... What do you all think..????

Post by BennyTheW »

Right then...

One new owner, a Japanese import tin roof Mk1...

Gun metal grey N/a G-limited...

Pretty much mint inside....

Working electrics...

Pretty much full service history.... even the Japanese ones...

The toolkit, space saver wheel and even the flare given to warn trains if your stuck on the rails...

Its got a few club stickers on it to so i wouldn't be surprised if shes known...

any additional history would be appreciated...

I like it too! Definitely :thumleft: from me! :)

That colour really suits Mk1s! I'm more a fan of T-bars, but you can't go wrong with a tin-top either! ;) (Does it have A/C though?)

Tin top is good. It will have AC but the question is, does it work?

Our SE is still on R12 and a surprisingly the climate control still works fine.

I know of only 5 in the country but there will be more. Me, MartG and Supercharged Sam all own them (not sure if Sam still has his though)

Mine is a rare UK model which I've had resprayed again in the original paint colour:

They come with most Jap import cars so I dont think they are rare or worth anything at all :?

Oh yeah!

Perhaps the 6th Gunmetal Grey MK1 in the Country Ollie? It's an original UK car and I'm the 2nd owner. I love it, I think it's dated far better than the other colours.
