Likewise - never seen that arrangement before. I know that AC was available on earlier models, even on the MK1(!!), but I've never seen it.

Mk3s ought to have the later style heater controls, with just a push-button to enable A/C....like this....

Everyone in the car (except me, obviously) is blind drunk in this photo. Taken on Bonfire Night. We just piled into my car and drove around. Y'know, like you do.

This is me in my car. I have a large head, I know.

LOL, no mate, as drunk as I look, I am in fact sober there.

One of the headlights is new but it was replaced for the MOT because whilst in storage it had cracked, thus allowing moisture into the lamp and fading the silver backing.

It must be my thorough cleaning ;)
