Description
1987 Volkswagen Jetta Mk2 Type 19 – 1. 8T 20V Turbo – 208WHP
Looking for a seriously quick, well-built Mk2 Jetta? This 20V turbo-swapped example has had over £20, 000 invested, built to a high standard with performance and drivability in mind.
Producing 208hp at the wheels, this is far from a standard Mk2. It’s lightweight, responsive, and pulls hard through every gear. With standalone management, anti-lag, and launch control, it’s a proper driver’s car that sounds as good as it performs.
Price: £8, 500 (includes BBS steering wheel)
