Good point. But has the dual wipers and earlier turns. Metal bumpers are only on early ones 75/76 from what I've seen. I wonder if there was a mix in 77/78 as vw changed over?

Maybe its like the equivalent of my Mk1 GTI? My car still is the older car (small rear lights, older dash and seats) but has the later plastic bumpers.

Pretty sure lane would only dismantle something that was un- salvageable . He has the preservation gene.

So whether chopped or stored or driven or yet undiscovered, we are looking at approx 12 mk1 Scirocco's in NZ?

Just realised my posts hit 1111  ;D

Nik, answer is yes. I have an itch to restore one, prob the next car to own and work on since the mk2 is not far off completion now, should be complete next year. I want something a bit older next (as you get older you start to appreciate older cars i guess) and the mk1 Scirocco is for me the perfect candidate, have really grown fond of them of late and in all aspects really.

Time will tell...

There was the blue one that was made into a convertible and wrecked by Jem

rambo_005

Tristan's was a facelift but he converted it to the earlier spec using parts off the red one

Pretty sure he's done dual wiper conversion to single as well. Has an awesome interior in it.

Tristans ex red car. T swapped the front guards to give his green  car pre facelift guards. Shell looks average but better than it looks.
