1983 Volkswagen Scirocco Mk2 1.6 GL

Highlights


 • Rare single wiper model
 • Low mileage
 • Tidy original condition
 • Stacks of paperwork & invoices etc

The Appeal

The Mk2 Scirocco hasn’t quite caught up to the MK2 Golf in terms of popularity but were seeing fewer and fewer left especially in GL trim so this makes this particular example all the more interesting. 

Pretty much factory original, with low mileage it could do with some TLC on the exterior but it still looks the part and that ruby red paint shines up well. If you’re after a good looking classic Volkswagen that is still useable on today's roads this could well be the car for you!

The History and Paperwork

 • Purchased by the current owner to use whilst his Scirocco storm is restored
 • Now selling to fund completion of his other cars restoration
 • Wealth of servicing history and invoices present
 • Some original manuals present including a period brochure
 • Top trumps set included featuring this very vehicle

The Interior

 • Very tidy original GL interior with dashboard not warped
 • Everything functional
 • Large 4 button type steering wheel
 • Tape deck head unit
 • Rear seat top shows some minimal wear
 • Headlining immaculate

The interior on this car is in great shape and is very original, everything works and its almost like stepping back in time to 1983 when behind the wheel. As it doesn't have sunroof, there is no problems of leaks and associated rust/ interior damage that are usual in this model.

The Exterior 

 • Believed to be original paint work, polishes up well
 • Alloys with tyres that have good tread
 • Early non-bodykit model, all original and unique trim present
 • Spoiler
 • Minor blemishes around the vehicle as to be expected with a 39 year old vehicle.
 • Major blemishes on the drivers door that will require attention at some point and dings/dents on wheel arches. blemishes treated with rust inhibitor to protect until the work can be done to bring the exterior to the interior standard.

Whilst the exterior has some blemishes that would benefit from corrective action it is still very presentable with the original trim present.

Mechanically the vehicle has been well serviced and runs and drives very well.

About Max Bids

The max bid process allows you to bid without any hassle.

Enter your maximum bid and we will then bid on your behalf to ensure you're the highest bidder - just enough to keep you in the lead and only up until your maximum.

Anti-sniping

Car & Classic prevent auction snipers from bidding in the last seconds to win an auction.

Auctions are extended by 3 minutes if anyone bids within the last 2 minutes to allow other bidders to react and counter-bid.

Auto-bidding increments

  • If your maximum bid is equal to or below the reserve price, your maximum bid will be applied in full if you are the highest bidder.
  • If you are the highest bidder and place a maximum bid above the reserve, we will automatically put in the reserve as your first bid.
    • Once the reserve has been met, Car & Classic will make sure you are the highest bidder using only the bidding increments stated below.
    • We will keep you in the lead up until your maximum bid OR the increment closest to your maximum bid, providing your maximum bid is enough to cover the increment value.

Bid Amount Increment
£0 to £9,999 £100.00
£10,000 to £49,999 £250.00
£50,000 to £99,999 £500.00
£100,000 + £1,000.00

Automatically outbid immediately

When you place a max bid and are outbid immediately that means that another bidder has placed a max bid limit which is higher than yours.

You can bid again and we will use our automatic bid system to try and get you as the highest bidder.

Matching max bids

When there are two max bids of the same value, the one placed first remains the lead bidder.

Pre-authorisation

We may hold a pre-authorisation charge on your card until the end of the auction when the hold will be cancelled. If you win, we'll take a security deposit which counts towards the payment for the vehicle and isn't any extra cost to you.

What are pre-bids?

A pre-bid means you're able to place a bid before the official start of the auction.
You will be notified whether or not you are the highest bidder when the auction starts.

Problem with your bid

Bids are contractually binding. To help protect you, we have some rules in place if we think it's been mistyped. Please check and amend what you have entered.
