New member from Netherlands - GTV 2.0 TS 'MOTUS'

[Millamet 6]

Hello all,

 

I've been lurking on here for a while now, but I figure it's time to introduce myself. My name is Esther and I live in the south of The Netherlands. I currently own my second GTV, and I also own a motorcycle which I like to drive in good weather and also on holidays. (Last year we went to Norway)

My previous GTV was a 1998 Phase 2 2.0 TS, in Vela Blue with tan interior. It was written off last year when someone drove into the back of it on a B road. I drove a 146 with a boxer engine for a short while after that. While I liked the engine, the car had many little defects and when I found my current GTV I got rid of it.

 

My current GTV is a pretty unique car. It's a 2002 'Sport Limited Edition' with 2.0 TS in the factory colour 'Rosso Miro' with 'Glossy Black Leather' interior. It was imported to The Netherlands by the second owner back in 2004. This owner drove it for 11 years, and sold it this year. The car was technically not very strong, with for example tired rear suspension, a leaky radiator and clutch master cylinder. The seller had already replaced the steering pump and hose.

I had the rear suspension rebuilt with a combination of Powerflex and spherical bushes and new KYB shock absorbers. We also replaced the radiator and clutch master cylinder. In my possession the drivers side power window regulator broke down. This was also replaced with a new part.

 

The car is now in a reasonable shape (you're never quite done with a 916) and being used as a daily driver.
