The Appeal
The Mk2 Golf GTi is widely regarded as the purest expression of VW's hot hatch legend. This was a car that was lighter, more direct, and more analogue than anything that followed, while developing from its predecessor in a way that felt convincing and capable. A standard, unmodified example is becoming ever more difficult, which makes this 1991 car all the more compelling.
Finished in Capri Green - a colour only available from VW during 1991 and 1992 - this GTi is reported by the vendor to be as it left the factory. Not driven in wet conditions for the last eight years, garage stored all year round with fuel stabiliser and a battery tender, and maintained by a local garage experienced with classic cars, it's a fine prospect for any enthusiast - real hot hatch royalty. image.png1.66 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.

✓ 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.
