Dubious if the car has 5894 original miles...

Has the VIN listed as "473291972" but assuming they mean 4732901972 which isn't in the VIN database.

Has the front euro turn signal lenses and the kit to relocate the parking light to the bottom, so some previous owner was detail oriented lol..

the guy who probably has it still picked it up on BAT last year.
i thought it was a bit further back in time.
only reason i recalled the BAT sale was i recognized it from 1.8 research last year trawling through stuff there.

he did a gazump on bidders right at the end out of nowhere.
he has had a go at about a million VW auctions on BAT - mostly unsuccessful.

the guy who sold it, if his statements are to be believed had it since 2004.
he picked it up at an auction in texas.
i figured out from very blurry catalogue appearing in one of dealers photos that it was at a Kruse Auction.

Kruse collapsed in 2010 in aftermath of GFC.

it had belonged to another owner between 1999 and 2004 according to BAT seller last year. that owner purchased from RM auctions after pebble beach 99.
how true that bit would be ---who knows?

i wanted to try and find out how much was paid for it at kruse auction.
couldn't dig out info that obscure from that far back.
sort of surprised but then again kruse collapsed.
RM bought them out.

current owner knows enough not to go near BAT again so soon?
comments section has arced up a lot with some names i recognize from here. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
he'd get "murdered" with it.
but he knows he got dudded and is trying to offload it?

i think you are right about the pebble beach plaque.
someone has picked one up and screwed it on.

you could get away with a fair bit back in 2004, even more in 99.
googles come a long way since back then.
