Thought you might like this article as it covers the RE1900 vs the 16V, the 16V one by the way was mine, I bought it in 89 with 90k on it as it was one of the first demonstrators in the UK used for this type of thing and was fully loaded!!

Not quite in order but easy enough to shuffle.

Thanks for that nice write up
I knew it was a bit special when I found her and took her on a test drive with no brakes 😂

I’m always on the lookout for any gti engineering literature
Or magazine tests

Can see them now Bill... the ones you sent direct came out as thumb nails, email provider re-sizes nearly everything and the problem was my end.

Good read, cheers.

Been a bit quiet on the mk2 recently
Bought some electric uv recaros from a corrado , thanks to Matt @ mk2 spares which need some repairs to the drivers seat , no biggie as I’ve sourced plenty of fabric over the years
