This lot will be auctioned via Classic Car Auctions, The Autumn Sale 2023 on Saturday the 30th of September, Warwickshire Event Centre, CV31 1XN.
A truly stunning example in Mars Red with the favoured Red Stripe cloth trim
These extremely early examples - launch spec cars - feature the distinctive and extremely rare red striped interior, vinyl side stripes, small GTi wing badges and the GTi grille badge on the offside
Owned by our vendor since August 2007 when he purchased it from an elderly lady who owned the car from new (August 1984)
Supplied with a comprehensive history file dating right back to day one, including service details and invoices, MOTs and the original Bill of Sale
Recent maintenance includes four new shock absorbers, springs and top mounts, Pirelli P-Slot wheels refurbed, new Pirelli tyres, new discs and pads, refurbished calipers and many perishable items renewed to return the car to tip-top condition
Finding Mk2s in an unmodified condition is extremely difficult, let alone finding one with low-mileage and low-owners. Given this car also benefits from the rare and distinctive launch-spec features and is in a desirable and striking colour, we feel it's rather special
