MOT valid until 28 May 2027
The Appeal
The third iteration of the Golf Cabriolet wide-bodied, Karmann-built machines in the cabriolet, and the range-topping Avantgarde specification, with its BBS alloys, electric hood with glass rear screen, and generous equipment list - sat at a lofty pinnacle for the Golf family tree. It's still every bit the charismatic, stylish hot hatch, but an eminently more comfortable one.
This example has remained within the same family from almost new, passing from aunt to uncle to father, and has been garage stored for a number of years, venturing out primarily for MOT tests. The accompanying paperwork is comprehensive, including the original bill of sale showing a purchase price of £18,000 in 1998. PXL_20260831_145422147.MP Steve Howson.jpg6.99 MB

This sale is subject to the Car & Classic Terms and Conditions. By bidding and/or making an offer, you also agree to the following:
✓ The seller is registered as a private seller which means consumer rights stemming from EU consumer protection law do not come into effect. However, you are still covered by Car & Classic’s own Terms and Conditions..
✓ We request that a non-refundable fee be paid if you are the lucky winning bidder at auction or if your offer is accepted Please refer to our helpful FAQs and T&Cs for specific rates.
✓ This vehicle is “Sold As Seen”, on an “As Is Where Is’ basis and without warranty. Photos and descriptions are solely for guidance purposes and it's customary to carry out a full inspection of the vehicle prior to purchase for your own peace of mind.
✓ VAT is included in the buyer's fee. VAT may or may not be included in the final bid or offer price, as specified in the listing.
✓ We want a smooth transaction just as much as you do and as such we run all UK-registered cars and motorbikes for sale on Car & Classic through an online HPI check to verify that they show no insurance database markers for damage or theft, and have no finance owing, allowing you to bid with confidence.
✓ We also check whether vehicles are recorded as being written off as part of an insurance total loss claim at the time an advert is placed on Car & Classic and we helpfully provide write-off category labels (Cat C/D/S/N) for your assistance. However, the presence or absence of a label does not guarantee the vehicle’s status and it is always worthwhile carrying out your own full vehicle history check before making an offer on a vehicle.
✓ Buyers are responsible for vehicle collection
or delivery. Importing vehicles may result in additional customs duties and import taxes so it's worth checking beforehand. It is the bidders responsibility to confirm import eligibility prior to purchase.
