Description
Now and again a car comes for sale where there is simply no other like it, and here is one of those.
With just 66, 000 miles and the one owner from new, this incredible survivor presents a wonderful opportunity to a collector or VW enthusiast to own what must be the finest example available in the UK today. Fastidiously maintained with a box full of receipts and history, along with original sales invoice. Kept as Wolfsburg intended this gorgeous GTI receives admiring glares and comments wherever she goes. Drives superbly well and has very rare A/ C and sunroof options. BBS wheels newly refurbished and the cars bodywork is almost faultless.
Volkswagen produced a limited quantity of 1000 special-edition 3 and 5-door GTI Anniversary models, celebrating 20 years of the GTI model. This had the usual GTI specification but came equipped with special chequered Recaro front sport seats and matching rear seats bearing the GTI logo, red seat belts front and rear, half-chromed and leather golf ball gear knob, red stitched leather steering wheel and handbrake gaiter. The release knob on the hand brake was also red and silver instrument dials. Floor mats also had red piping along their edges. The red theme continued externally with a red striping on the bumpers and red brake calipers. The wheels were 16" x 7" split rim BBS RS 722 alloys, visually similar to the 15" that were found on VR6 model. Smoked front fog and indicator lamps to match the rear lamps. 3 optional extras were made available; electric sunroof, air conditioning and metallic black paintwork. The edition was sold in only 6 colour schemes and the 1000 number figures that were produced was as follows; 600 8 valve models of which this is one f those, 150 16 valve models and 250 TDI models. The diesel model was only produced for the European market and was not sold in the UK. So it was a rare car then, now it’s the proverbial Unicorn.
Do not miss this chance, once it’s gone you’ll not find another like this. Viewing and inspections welcome.
