1996 Volkswagen Golf Mk3 VR6 Mullberry Highline For Sale

Welcome to the sale of our little project

VR6 Mullberry Highline

I have had this for a little over a year and took it on as a sort of rolling project in that it pretty much looked the same as it does now but was very rough around the edges through a combination of bad repairs, bodges and unprofessional modifications

First thing was to make it safe so we fitted new Track rod ends, Brake Pads all round and sorted the Coilover Suspension so it sat correctly.

We then had the abs systems checked & overhauled which consisted of new sensors on the rear, cleaning on the Front and fuse terminals cleaned so it now works as it should and we have the print outs to show. As for the Wheels, we took a nice set of Audi TT Alloys and had them refurbed and Diamond cut with the slots painted body colour and fitted them with brand new tyres (205/ 40/ 17). It was then set up and four wheel aligned so its now perfectly tracked and balanced.

Then we tackled the rust that all mk3’s suffer from. Both cills at the bottom of the front wheel arches were cut out and new metal formed and stitched in to form an invisible mend were added along with new metal behind the cills to the floor.

We then removed the badly filled bumpers and dug out all the old filler (from were the fog lights sat and the swage line) and correctly built it up with glass fibre and skimmed over. The Vento front was already fitted but the grill was unpainted and held in with wire!! So once all that was corrected, the whole lower section was painted and blended in. We refitted the rear spoiler and mopped the body to bring it up to the standard of the fresh paintwork and it really does show.

The Engine.

2. 8 Vr6 showing (120k) which we were informed had been chipped but have no proof other than it does respond rather well through its K and N Cone Filter !! but also had a few issues to sort which were the broken coil pack which we replaced along with new Plugs and Leads. We also fitted a new water pump and belt and crank position sensor. We also fitted a new pcv Valve then gave it an oil change. The exhaust needed a new middle section which we fitted to the already “Delete” rear box which does sound very nice.

The selector was sloppy so that was changed so now the gearbox selection is as smooth as can be.

The interior was largely in good condition with no rips other than the headlining which was quite literally hanging down and has now been professionally re-trimmed and was completed on 14/ 12/ 17. While that was out we fixed the broken wiring to the sunroof, fitted new Seat Relays and a new Steering wheel from a Mk3. 5 (which looks a lot more up to date), then gave the leather a good clean and feed. The badly fitted Stereo was swapped for a much more user friendly Bluetooth Hands free item with a hidden mic. It once had a system built into the boot and still retains the feeds for the Speakers and amps which have now been tidied it up, made safe and plugged away so if that’s you thing then it would be very easy to add.

Just had a new starter Motor fitted today ( 18/ 01/ 18 ) at a cost of £186 (with Receipt and Guarantee )

It has just been MOT’d (14/ 12/ 17) so has a full years to go with it.

(No Advisories)

So there you have it, a very nice and tastefully modified rare Mullberry VR6 that can only go up in value due to the rarity of them.

(Look it up on how manys left dot com )

Its not perfect but it is a very nice 20 year old golf that gets quite a bit of attention were ever it goes

The logbook states that it has had 17 owners which might put you of at first , but if you think about it, that is a new owner roughly every two years who would of course lavish it with money like all new owners do so not a bad thing at all

If the asking price of

£3800

is met then the Original BBS alloys with good Tyres will go with it along with a box of spares.


Part ex, swap, cash either way, try me



Thanks for looking
