About this car
Late Mk4 Ghia estate that spent thirty years in one Kilkenny family. Original paint, light patina, sound underneath.
The owner is keeping a share and staying on as lead owner, so the car stays where it is and is looked after by the same person. 1 of the 2 shares are for sale.
Each share carries 60 booking points a year, which is about 15 long weekends in the season. Local favourite drives: the Vee and the Knockmealdowns.
