…see what I did, there?!
Hello all; allow me to introduce myself BEFORE I go straight to the ‘wanted’ section and tell you I’m looking to buy an A2: my name’s Mark Antony and I’m looking to buy an A2.
A potted history: I worked for many years within the VWG UK orbit (between 2004 and 2016, I probably visited every dealer and many of the authorised repairers in their network) and always regretted not having an A2 as a company car (I have the same regret regarding the Mk1 TT!)
The VWG-specialist garage I have used for years (in my former life, I had a 1998 VW T4 Westfalia camper for 10 years and a Polo BlueGT and currently rattle around in an old diesel Altea) is very A2-friendly; the proprietor and his wife have owned a super-high spec one from new and the courtesy car is a very nice black 1.6FSI. I nearly ended up with the latter car and would have loved it, but some crossed wires (my bad!) meant it stayed there.
Soooo…. My diesel clatter crate is now very much on the way out and the garage doesn’t really want to see it again and I’ve decided now is the time.
I’ve joined a couple of A2 Facebook Groups and I‘ve been amazed at the friendliness and resourcefulness of A2 owners. I’ve been saying it’s a cult classic for donkeys’ years and that seems very much to be the case!
Right, Now to write that wanted ad. In the meantime: thanks for reading.
Big cheers, WG
