In a quest for the perfect old-school convertible on a shoestring budget, the Car Throttle team scoured the depths of Facebook Marketplace. From a minty green Volkswagen Beetle to a cosmetically challenged Mercedes CLK, they left no stone unturned. Haggling their way to a £950 Golf purchase, the guys were in for a surprise as they tested the roof operation and took the car for a spin, encountering some steering issues and a notorious Scuttle Shake along the way. Despite its quirks, the Golf showed promise for future modifications and adventures.
The team's relentless pursuit of a classic ride led them to consider various options, from a hardtop MGF to a turbocharged Sab 932 L. With a preference for soft tops and a strict rule against MX-5s, they navigated through listings and test drives to find the perfect fit. The £950 Golf, though cosmetically challenged, proved to be a worthy contender with its working roof and nostalgic CD changer in the boot, setting the stage for exciting modifications ahead.
As they embarked on their test drive, the Car Throttle crew experienced the Golf's unique charm firsthand. Despite its vague steering and noticeable Scuttle Shake, the car showcased a spirited performance with a hint of nostalgia. With plans for future modifications and tests on the horizon, the team's £950 purchase promised not only a budget-friendly ride but also a canvas for their automotive adventures. Stay tuned for more updates on their journey with the classic convertible and the modifications that lie ahead.
