Highlights

  • Genuine 89,994 miles 

The Appeal

The Volkswagen Golf GTi was one of the first sports car you could buy with your head as well as your heart. Practical, well-made and affordable to run, the GTi was as capable and usable as any regular Golf, but it also offered one of the best high-performance front-wheel-drive powertrains ever fitted to a car.

This Mark II example has covered just 1,000 miles in the last ten years of current ownership, during which time it has been garaged, serviced and has even undergone some restoration work including a full respray.

The vendor tells us:

"With 5 previous owners and a folder full of old service and works invoices, along with original tax discs, this car is stunning with a strong engine. Although the car has done little mileage under my ownership I have serviced it more than required and tried to fix any small imperfections. The feedback from my local garage is always that the car has a good solid engine and that with its condition I should take it to shows etc."
