Early 100 C3, how early?

[Chris Thomason]

Hi Dell , thanks for the information.  Looking like we have the earliest registered ones on the road  ? I have 2 big boxes of spares that I need to sort out & see what I may need as I haven't got the room to save it all so will try & post a list soon. Thanks , Chris ...

Thanks Chris if you have a radio, odometer that works, I want to buy one as a spare. Other bits n pieces I'd be interested in as well, you have to make sure you have the VIN number when buying spares if it begins with certain letters what looks the same isn't and fitting can cause damage so I've been told. Looking at buying an 03 Golf tomorrow 54k on the clock immaculate so I'm trying to find a price to offer as I don't want to rip the bloke off and I don't want to make a fool of myself either it's a 1.6 alloy wheels etc.

Hi Chris, thanks for letting us know of your new purchase. I had originally replied to this thread as I was looking for an early 100 to photograph for a book project. The first volume has actually just been published, but it would be great to feature yours in the next volume when we start that if you are up for it? Many thanks, John

[Chris Thomason]

Hi John , yes , you are welcome to do this or I can send photos  .  I am in stockport centre  . Thanks Chris.

Hi Chris, 

Sorry - I’ve just seen this and back home now! It was a good show wasn’t it?  
 

I’m around and about tomorrow if you are free. I can show you a copy of the first volume of the book that we have just had published. Can do another time if not.
