2004 Volkswagen Golf R32 Mk4 Manual

Pre-bids

Highlights

  • Legendary VR6 powertrain and Haldex 4wd
  • Recommissioned in 2025 after a period of dry storage since 2015
  • Good service history file spanning over 20 years
  • Supplied with both keys and the original vehicle wallet
  • Recently undersealed and serviced in December 2025 at an Audi Approved workshop

The Appeal

The Mk4 Golf R32 is rightly the stuff of legend. Its naturally aspirated 3.2-litre VR6 delivers a distinctive soundtrack and, even more importantly, 241PS to all four wheels through the Haldex-based 4Motion system. The six-speed manual is the transmission of choice for driving enthusiasts. As a five-door, this example adds a measure of everyday practicality.
This right-hand-drive, deep blue pearl-effect example was imported in 2005 and comes with a good service history file documenting maintenance from its first service in 2005 through to late 2025. Dry stored since 2015, it was recommissioned last year with a comprehensive programme of mechanical work. The vendor describes it as a clean example, though not a concours car, and it is ready for its next custodian to enjoy that unmistakable VR6 character.
