FS NSW, 1979 Golf Diesel
For Sale: 1979 Mk 1 Golf Diesel $1800.00
Owners - Col & Maureen Mavin - 02 65 811296 - shakeymavin@hotmail.com , Port Macquarie, NSW 2444.
I think they have owned this Golf since new - Col is a VW man. Unfortunately, he was badly injured in a head on in his T3 a few years ago, but was
hoping to be able to recover & drive his Golf. It has been kept registered & looked after (under cover) ready for that, but it looks like that
won't happen.
At the moment, Maureen isn't on here, so you will have to ring or email, but I will send her the link and she may join to make this easier.
Engine re-built about 25,000km ago (I was told the total odo. but I can't remember exactly - it was 400,000 and something).
Gearbox has been replaced by a 5 speed manual.
I am not a Golf expert, but the only rust I could find was a bubble under the trim on the rear quarter.
Some of the door handles & window winders don't work - not sure if they need lubrication, adjusting, or replacing.
The dash is cracked, but has a dash mat on it. The rest of the interior is reasonable.
There is a 2nd spare wheel & tire.
This is the rust spot.
I am only posting this for the owners. If you have any further questions, please contact the owners as set out above. I am happy to help if you need
extra photos or info & they can't help, but it will take a day or so to get time to go and see them.
From your ole' mate Jeff

Jeff,
I will definately be giving Maureen a ring. Will try and have a look over Easter if it doesn't inconvenience her.
Regards,
Matt.

Matt, Maureen rang me after you bought it - she parked it on Clifton Dr. today, and between AVD and the exposure there, she had 4 people interested in
it - she couldn't believe it.
She was very thankful that it was going to a VW person though. :-)

Matt is pretty damn happy with it - and you would have had to have been quick to get it - you only had a bit over a day, and would have had to fight 3
other people besides Matt.
It is a pretty good car though. :-)

Yes, the latest South African VW Citi would be great to own, 1973 Mk 1 body with 2009 engine, trans and interior.
I doubt if they would comply with our ADR's though.
Keep hunting, I've seen another one here on AVD and a couple on Gumtree and Ebay.
Regards,
Matt.

Bernie,
I hit the trip meter last week when I filled up. I'll go tomorrow and fill up again. Unfortunately most of my running around is short trips with a
cold or barely warm engine (so, not much 5th gear).
It gives the Beetle a break from a fate worse than death. I save all the decent trips for it now, the water cooled can put up with the crap easier.
Regards,
Matt.

Sorry for not getting back with fuel consumption. While I was filling up last week a guy driving a comercial garbage truck decided to drive through
the forecourt with his lifting forks raised. Scared the crap out of the customers. We all thought the roof was going to come down on us. Lucky it was
steel on aluminium, so no sparks.
Anyway in the middle of it all I forgot to record my trip meter and fuel amounts. I did remember this week:
241Km
15 litres
That's 6.22 Litres /100Km according to an online calculator. The factory spec for around town use with a 4 speed is 6.5 litres/100Km.
Regards,
Matt.

Sadly Matt passed away couple of months ago & as a result his son Garry is now selling this Golf.
You can contact Garry if you are on facebook by going here:
https://www.facebook.com/groups/714103505287478/
Which is VW Buy/Swap or Sell - Australia in case the link doesn't work.
If your not on facebook I can probably get Garry's contact details for you.
Car is located in Port Macquarie.
Cheers
Brendan
