Golf Ecomatic 1. 9D semi-automatic, stop-start clutchless manual.
Only 60k miles!
One of the rarest Mk3s ever made. The Ecomatic was cutting edge technology at the time of its very short production run. Google Golf ecomatic and watch the YouTube video to see what it does.
This one is probably the best of the 5 known examples left, and the only one currently taxed and tested in the UK.
It's very cool (in my opinion) as it's got none of the fancy stuff like electric windows or central locking , this was a stripped back model to save weight, and make the most economical car of it's class/ era - up to 70 mpg! Because of this, and the very low mileage, it all still works. Drives just as it should (and it's not so weird once you get used to the freewheeling with engine off feature!).
An opportunity to take over as custodian of this unique piece of history, and an excellent investment. Bodywork is very presentable, and looks good overall. There's some lacquer peel on the lhs front wing, which could do with a repaint, and one or two touched up spots lower down here and there, as expected for age and mileage. The car has not had any restoration work done, just normal running repairs, and only done 12, 000 miles in the last 14 years. I'd recommend that the new owner be prepared to do a little exterior work to bring it up to an excellent standard. The interior is in amazing time warp condition, still with working radio/ cassette player!
