Description
There’s a certain magic in a car that has been cherished from the very first turn of the key, and this 2007 Volkswagen Golf GTI Edition 30 wears that devotion proudly. One owner from new, just 67, 000 miles travelled, and a full service history that reads like a love letter to preservation, care and quiet pride. Recently restored, rejuvenated and ready for the next chapter, it stands in Tornado Red—still one of the most spirited colours ever to grace a hot hatch—glowing with that unmistakable Mk5 GTI heartbeat.
Its 2. 0-litre turbocharged engine brings 230 bhp to the road with the urgency and charm that made the Edition 30 such an icon. Quick enough to stir the senses—152 mph at its peak and 0–60 in 6. 6 seconds—yet smooth, predictable and wonderfully mechanical in its delivery. This is the kind of power that doesn’t just move you forward, it draws you in.
Inside, the cabin tells its own story of time well kept: anthracite cloth and leather seats stitched with the commemorative red and grey piping unique to these limited-run cars. A multifunction steering wheel, heated front seats, and that unmistakable Edition 30 stance outside—stiffer suspension, subtler aggression, the shape of a future classic finding its confidence.
The three-door shell gives it that purist, driver-focused feel, while privacy glass, a twin exhaust and those original 18” Pescara alloys complete the look. Both keys are present. The history is deep and reassuring. The tyres are healthy, the drive tight, eager, beautifully sorted.
This is more than a special Golf—it’s a piece of modern motoring heritage, looked after with the kind of loyalty that makes it easy to imagine its next home, its next story, its next person to fall for it. A rare chance to connect with a GTI that has lived gently, been loved completely, and is now ready for someone new to take the wheel.
