THE APPEAL
The 7th generation Golf GTi is already a well developed ‘hot hatch’, but Volkswagen have taken the sporty concept one step (or indeed several steps) further with the powerful four-wheel drive R.
Outside, the R’s subtle styling tweaks extend to a new front bumper, air intakes, grille, sills, wheels and tailpipes, but what lurks under the bonnet is the most significant advance - the VW 2.0-litre TSI turbo petrol engine producing 296 bhp with an impressive 0-62 time of around 5 seconds and limited to 155 mph - much quicker than the GTi.
Inside, it’s business as usual regarding VW’s renowned quality, comfort and functionality, and includes an abundance of standard equipment and driver aids.
With so many features to mention, this low mileage five-door example has a lot going for it. Presented in stunning Lapiz Blue Metallic, it is in excellent near showroom condition having been clearly looked after by the former owner.
The interior (including the luggage space) looks brand new with no signs of wear or damage, and mechanically speaking, the complete dealer service history, recent service and MOT ‘Pass’ should offer confidence.
So jump in and take a peek - the photos should hopefully speak for themselves…

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.
