earliest Mk2 GTI...........unless of course you know different ?

It's 19e Jon. Thanks for that

 

Just stumbled across this thread, then had to dig to find my log in details (really should be on here more..) My black A Reg was built May 9th 1984, so whilst not as early as some here it's still up there. Currently gathering parts for it and planning on getting it on the road this summer.

 

Thanks for that info Bolotxus.
My one been used since spring this year, but now in the garage on a SORN til next spring. Mot needed in Feb after 1st Mot for many years last Feb.

 

Nice!
Mine is Atlas Grey.
I saw one for sale a few days ago, and I know of one that was scrapped recently because I bought the rear bench seat for the inner seat cover cloth.
How many of the A-reg GTIs are left, anybody?

 

BTW, does anyone have any information about the MFA stalk? Part no, colour of the connector etc.

 

That's ALL '84 Mk2 GTIs, not the A-plates, I believe. The internal seat strip, and exterior side strip changed when the B-plates were introduced on 01.08.84.

 

Hey guys
I feel lucky to have stumbled upon this thread, as im currently working on an early 1984 MK2 gti. While i was taking it apart i noticed the dates on the back side of the plastic trim, and i was fascinated to see that most of these were made on Dec. 1983 and Jan. 1984, some of them even Nov. 1983.
My serial is: WVWZZZ19ZEW465018
It is an Atlas Grey with the original white stripes on it. It has some 356k km on the clock.
It has stayed in my family since it was 11 years old, when it was imported from Germany to Greece, and it is currently being restored here.

Now im itching to learn more about it

 

Thank you John! Unfortunately the sticker on the boot is gone, but I have the barcode on the inner wing. It reads 04-2-1007..... which, should mean, fourth week of January 1984, on Tuesday. (24th) (?)

 

I am just finishing the restoration of EW552226. Registered 18/4/84

It is Atlas Grey with red striped interior. I had the cloth flipped in the centre sections of the seats and it has gone from light blue to almost black. Just back from the paint shop after a full respray.

I put the bumpers on today and weather permitting I will do side stripes and arch trims tomorrow. I hope I can claim No2 in the UK and maybe even No1 when it is on the road, if we rank road legal cars.

 

I put too many twos in my last post. I have edited the above post.

Number is EW552226

 

Could anyone give me an approximate build date for my car? I will get some pictures up when the weather improves.

Thanks in advance.

 

Thanks Jonny

It has the barcode on the drivers side inner wing, but I do not know how to decode it.
