my kingdom for a derby

Post by firefoxf7 »

Hi folks, i'm looking for a volkswagon derby, i bought one when i was 14 but had to sell it before i passed my test and ended up using the money to buy a fiat strada abrath then sold that (10 miles from the auction, 100 miles to home)to a petrol station attendant. i then bought a 205 gti at 15 and spent 2 years replacing everything apart from the roof ( only panel not dinted ) and modifying ( my brother was into rallying at the time with a lotus sunbeam 2.2l ex lotus and brm car he had rebuilt himself. i had access to the bodyshop my brother is now a partner in and i spent every penny i could on it with a paper roun and servicing narrow boats at weekends, i also know Skip Brown which was handy.
Anyway back to my original point i would really love to have a derby again and i am on the look out, i don't mind a bit of body work and engines are no problems.

Am i going through a mid life crisis?
