Ali / 16Valvers MK1 Racer.

I chose it as it sums up for me all that retro Golfs mean to the enthusiasts , it's been a graft of determination , with the man not afraid to change the plan on the way , and getting help from mates .

A car that looks just right , without any extra . C Eyres comment says it all.
