How many are there here in NZ still alive, whether sat in storage or currently driven? Auto or manual?
Please shed some light fellow enthusiasts.
Ones I know of already are:
- Neils ex silver
- Mikes Riviera blue (the one I want to save and restore one day)
- Mikes other one or two?
- Tristans Work in progress
- Tristans old one (now a shell)

No I don't think so. Isn't that the guy I sold my Mk1 too? Jeremy will know.
People maybe as well put up the dead cars as well.
Head is a dead one that used to live locally:

I think before you it was owned by a teacher at EIT?
Yea I think so. It sat out at haumoana for years which didnt help with the rust. There was receipts in it for a $4k engine rebuild
Damn, they all rust in that spot at the base of the screen.
That one was rusty every where. I started stripping it, saw how much rust there was and decided to sell it

Nah wasn't that long ago Nik, maybe a year or so back....
Don't recall the colour but someone posted a picture of it.
This one
http://www.vask.org.nz/index.php/topic,26880.msg374224.html#msg374224
So this car is the only one currently "on the road".
Also lets not forget there are two models, Mk1 and Mk1.5 (or what ever you call it), like Mk1 Golfs.

It's just a facelift, key points changed are single wiper, turn signals, an then it's just cosmetic and engine options. Interesting that half the cars are pre facelift and half are post. The palmy car is pre facelift.

Pre or post? I thought that the plastic bumpers came on the later cars?
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.
There's a blue mk1.5 in Wgtn I see around a bit, Lane knows the owner.
That well maybe Mike you sold it to then?

Interesting, any other info on this Wgtn blue one? I wonder if Lane has one or two tucked up under his covers!? ;D

Lane doesn't have one but has chopped a few up
::)
Pretty sure lane would only dismantle something that was un- salvageable . He has the preservation gene.
They do seem to rust pretty bad. Its great to see some being saved.
That's nothing, T34's are far worse ;D
So whether chopped or stored or driven or yet undiscovered, we are looking at approx 12 mk1 Scirocco's in NZ?

Are you after a new project Omar?
Id like to have a steer of one to see how the compare to a Mk1 GTI.
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...
i have one and have wrecked 1(still have a lot of parts from this one)
Mine is a 1975 TS

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

Keep em coming.
There will be one more in the country very soon.
Nice! From the US, by the looks. What is your plan for it?
The car needs full restoration but comes with a stack of parts such as spoilers, porsche rims and new interior bits.
What sold it for me is that it has no serious rust and hasn't been crash repaired, so what you see is what you get.
The plan is to get it road legal first, then full respray in the original indiana red, onto the porsche rims and fix those ugly bumpers.
Doesn't have any spare guards does it?
Sorry, no panels as far as I am aware but I check when it turns up next month.

I don?t think Spike?s car is road legal in NZ yet?
Was thinkingt the same thing last night and looks to still have its UK plate. It is together and drives stops and slides. No doubt cert etc required. Cool to see something like that here. Have put in a slight change ;)
I've got a bunch of parts for one of these.
Glass, light clusters front and rear, wing mirrors, other stuff.
I suspect it's mark 2 as the lights are the rectangular ones, like this:

Yes mk2. A few mk2s floating about now so someone should grab them.
I post pix of the PN car in the Spotted thread using Photobucket.
I quit that crappy service so re-post time

Not seen the car in years, photos were taken in 2013.

You should get some Enkei G Zeros and paint this metallic green like a V can
Nah I actually pulled it out to take it down to the scrap yard aye. Just have too many projects and can?t finish them all
Fair enough. If it was a four door I bet you'd keep it.
