Once a common place sight on the roads of Europe and today arguably the most admired
and coveted hot hatch of all. The sands of time have ensured that literally very few examples
remain and of those few even fewer will present correctly. This early small bumper car is a
rarity now. The big Bumper models are more plentiful and one can argue not as pure, the
earlier Mk2 car retaining much of the clean cut Mk1 look, the later cars always look bloated
in comparison, as such narrow bumper cars are now becoming more collectable.
D73 EKS
D73EKS is a very tidy Black 3dr GTI, the definitive hot hatch with just one previous owner
from 1986 through to Valentine’s day in 2017 which is over 30 years! A complete package
with everything from the original bill of sale, owners pack and a huge history file with no less
than 31 service entries all presented in superb turn-key condition.

Additional Provenance
Invoice from 1998 for the fitment of an Apollo 2002 immobiliser
Hand written notes covering the following..
Correspondence from the first owner to Ian Skelly asking about a set of wire BBS alloys
to be fitted pre-delivery.
Notes referring to the pricing of the vehicle to include a radio cassette, alarm and wheels.
Notes made by the first owner about warranty lengths and contact details, obviously a
well-considered purchase which is evident due to the length of time Mr. Logan retained
the GTI.
The Drive
It sits perfectly on it's standard suspension set-up, with no clunks or knocks either, just a
solid firm and well absorbed ride. Having owned a few I can comment that all old engines
drive differently. This one runs very well compared to all the other ones I have driven and
would appear to retain all it's power and free revving zest that makes a GTi a GTi.
It's all totally stock but is really well tuned and has lots of torque in any gear at any time. This
is an all systems go car ready to be enjoyed when the mood and the weather allows. The
car moves as one whole piece, perhaps even better than I remember reaffirming that
subsequent generations have robbed the car of it's dynamic feel and driver enjoyment. If
you want practicality, performance and strength in one affordable package, few cars will
deliver like the Mk2 GTi and is easily the most practical and sensible everyday modern
classic in its price range.
Cabin
The cabin is clean and bone dry and has the feel of an unabused cared for interior with
a good uncracked dash, headlining, door cards, chairs and carpets. Next to no wear at all
to any switchgear, gear shifter etc, in reality these interiors were designed to take some
punishment. A little wear to the driver seat lower bolster is the only point to note though
seems to be pretty much a standard across all used Golf's of this vintage. Original VW
rubber mats are present, all is in working order.
Alloys/ Tyres
Matching Pirelli P6000 performance tyres all round with clean rims that are unmarked. The
BBS crosswire alloys set the car apart, rarely seen now ad they have an appeal all of their
own. Finished with the correct BBS centre caps.
