The Appeal

The Mk2 VW Scirocco is a lightweight, sharp-handling coupé that has earned a devoted following among those who appreciate driver-focused classics, and the GT2 sits among the more desirable variants. This 1991 example has been thoughtfully developed over the years into something rather more engaging than standard, with a replacement 2.0-litre eight-valve 'AZJ' Beetle engine breathing through motorcycle carburettors on a bespoke manifold, managed by a dyno-tuned aftermarket ECU and exhaling through a custom stainless steel system. Uprated brakes and lowered suspension complete the mechanical picture. The vendor describes it as brilliant fun on back roads, with fantastic throttle response, a rewarding induction note, and strong pull in any gear.

The interior presents well for its age, while the bodywork retains its original paint and is described by the vendor as shining up nicely. The car sits on a set of BBS RD wheels with matching Michelin Pilot Sport 3 tyres. For those seeking a classic coupé with real character and a mechanical specification that rewards keen driving, this Scirocco warrants a closer look.
