The Appeal
Starting from the seventies, the first Golf imposed a new concept of compact, versatile and brilliant midsize car all over the world, distinguished by front-wheel drive and an attractive and modern design by Giorgetto Giugiaro. Its innovative formula would strongly influence all subsequent cars, which would imitate both its mechanics and its bodywork, equipped with a practical and ingenious tailgate.
In 1983, the second series Golf MKII introduced further innovations, presenting even more rounded and dynamic lines and larger dimensions.
In the wake of the great success of the first GTI sports version a new GTI was introduced, with a 1.8-litre engine with 112 hp, to which a 129 hp sixteen-valve engined variant was added in 1987.
In 1988 Volkswagen introduced the top-of-the-range Golf G60 version, which, thanks to a carefully tuned engine and the addition of a supercharger, offered 158 hp and truly remarkable performance for the time, with a maximum speed of 216 km/h and a 0 to 100 km/h sprint in less than 8 seconds.
This Golf G60, originally sold in Switzerland and in Italy since 2002, has only had two owners since new, the first of whom kept it for 21 years, and has always been lovingly maintained with the utmost care. The mechanics have received recent work, with new timing belt, spark plugs and compressor belt and a change of oil and oil filter. A new stainless steel exhaust system was installed in 2023.
It features a very nice looking bodywork, made even more attractive by the well-preserved iconic original BBS wheels and flared wheel arches.
Inside we are greeted by a nice and very well-equipped interior, with beautiful leather upholstery that is almost certainly original, Recaro sports front seats in good general condition with traces of wear, a sunroof and an intact, clean and efficient dashboard.
The highly coveted Golf G60 was built in small numbers mainly due to its very high price and is one of the most loved and sought after Golfs. This pleasant looking example which clearly shows the great care it received from its previous owners is an unmissable opportunity to make your own one of the most fun, enjoyable and exciting small sports cars ever.

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.

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.
