Description
* For Sale* 1983 Volkswagen Golf GTI Mk1 Campaign Edition
40, 000 miles | Impeccable Restoration | Factory Original
There are cars that shaped a generation — and then there’s the Mk1 GTI. The originator. The icon. The moment Volkswagen changed everything.
What you’re looking at here is not just a car — it’s history, preserved and perfected. A 1983 Campaign Edition, finished in timeless Schwarz Black over a matching black interior, with just 40, 000 miles from new and a huge, detailed history file that documents its life like a well-loved novel.
Painstakingly restored as part of a no-compromise university project, every nut and bolt has been carefully considered. No stone left unturned, no shortcut taken. It’s the kind of restoration that’s as much about heart as it is about craft.
Details that Matter:
Extensive, documented restoration — executed with precision and care
Immaculate Schwartz Black paintwork — mirror-like finish throughout
Powder-coated original alloy wheels — restored to absolute factory correctness
Stunning bodywork and shut lines — a shell that looks like it’s fresh off the Wolfsburg line
Interior near flawless — seats, dash, headliner and trim all present beautifully
Everything original — no modern twists, no ‘improvements’ — just factory purity
Campaign model touches — including the iconic Pirelli ‘P-Slot’ wheels and green-tinted glass
It drives as beautifully as it looks — light, eager, and sharp. Every gear change, every turn of the wheel, is a reminder of why the Mk1 GTI became a legend.
This is more than a collector’s item — it’s an Automotive Romance, frozen in time.
For the purist, the nostalgic, and the collector who only wants the very best — this is the Mk1 you’ve been waiting for.
