Mk1 Caddy pickup 1989 white Volkswagen like golf Jetta gti

1989 Volkswagen Caddy · Wagon · Driven 115,000 kilometres

I have reluctantly decided to sell the caddy which I have been building over the past couple of years. This was built for the Mrs as a toy to go to events with whilst I use my Mk1 golf, so we initially had no intention to sell. But with the addition of 2 young children. Sadly it just sits on the drive not getting any use.

It was built to look classic although slightly modified to a period standard. Body looks respectable and exceptionally straight, bed is original and solid and comes with a tailgate… 

Engine runs and goes very very well, looks period in the bay and has the sound that only ever comes from a set of gas guzzling carbs. 

More details are within the pictures.

MOT until 27 may 2022

I bought the pickup as a painted shell, with boxes of parts, and built from such. Dials are GTI dials showing 115k, these were not with the Caddy and I have no history to show any mileage or previous MOTs, it was off the road for a long while so not even online checks come up.
