The Santana was a saloon, so matey was probably offering you a Passat estate and getting confused along the way.

I've agonised over what to do with this badboy for the past year, and have decided its worth more in parts.. It owes me about 200 quid so would be good to see at least some of that back.. Here's pics if anyone's interested..

You'll notice it's badged as a Passat GL5 - This is correct as it was the last year of Santana production and re-badged a 'Passat' when VW dropped the Santana name. You always see a few of these in europe, but extremely rocking horse poo in the UK.

I bought this car because of its rarity and have now realised I just don't have the time to get it done. It is a typical London car and has dents and dings, and I;ve replaced a front wing and rear door which were mullered (not rusty though) The car was originally supplied by Scotts of Sloane Square and I believe it's spent some time in a hot climate, hence the unrusty rear arches and being spec'd with Aircon.

The rear N/S wing has been smacked too, but this didn't phase me either. Mad ? yes probably, but I envisaged a very rare and funky car at the end of it. The colour also appealed to me more than anything.
