    My old 1.5

    My old 1.5, I'd love it back, just couldn't justify the new price tag. Plus want to fulfill my black top desire.

    I want your blacktop haha

    I sold it to him for £4K, he's done a wee bit to the car since, but I couldn't justify the extra £2.5k. I know AW11 have risen in price over the last couple years but perhaps that applies mainly to stock cars?

    Even owning a Mk1.5 myself and liking the idea of good ones being worth £6-7k, I think that it should sit around £4-5k. Mk1.5's aren't for everyone and they do cost more to run and insure than a standard Mk1, but he may find a buyer at or near that price if the right one comes along.

    This is what i thought re the price.

    I'd say £4.5k would be a fair price, unfortunately I don't think with it be modded as it has that it can reap the same benefits of increasing mk1 prices. I'm assuming the price he has decided is based on wanting to recoup some of the dosh he has ploughed in, but we all know unfortunately it doesn't work like that.

    Blacktop is the 20v 4AGE.

    I am still shocked that many people (no offence) haven't heard of the other 4AGE derivatives that are available.

    Guys on twobrutal hadn't heard of the small port!

    Nah I wouldn't to be fair, I myself prefer NA power, so would love to go with a blacktop conversion. Personally I think it'll make for my perfect mk1

    It is or was a lovely car whilst I had it mind, if anyone is contemplating it, though that opinion is based on 2 years ago.
