Hi Everyone, 

 

I have a kitted out non-running Mk1 superb elegance that has been sitting in my garage for the best part of 4 years. It was the love of my life and owing to its spec I did not want to get rid of her!

 

She had the fateful 2.0PD fault which I ended up fixing and got a few more thousand miles on her. However there was an unnerving (Undiagnosed) clatter from the cylinder head so I assumed the worst and shes been sat there ever since. 

 

I am now the proud owner of a 2017 superb and feel its time to move on to another project and cut the nostalgic chains.

 

The question is - Do I scrap or do I attempt to break her?

 

I feel there's a good few parts which I would happily sell for a reasonable price.  It would be ideal for a MK1 enthusiast for those who have the time to pop round and wrench them out, e.g Full heated leather seats for front and back, wooden interior...etc. I'm based in the midlands. 

 

What have other people done in the past. Is it really worth all the labour and effort?

 

Just wanted to take the opportunity to gauge the interest. 

 

Many thanks, 

 

Why not sell it whole? At another point in my life this would be right up my street and I’d drop another lump in it - happy days!

If you have the time, patience, space and means to, then breaking would give you a larger return rather then scrapping.

 

It all depends on what you value, either your time and effort stripping it down, potentially taking you away from other parts of your life, or, a grand and a half in parts sales over the next year?

Hi Gaz,

 

Thanks for the positivity,  I agree it would be much better to sell as a whole to someone who could do some good,  it would be a shame to see it on the back of a scrap wagon when theres a fair bit of car still there!

Hi Jamie, 

 

The money sounds tempting but as you deduced, I have neither the time or space to conduct such a task!

 

I'll be posting the car to be sold as a whole on the classifieds section,
