Volkswagen’s Mk2 Golf GTI achieved the seemingly unachievable: it bested the original. Aficionados revere these later cars for their mix of all-round, grown-up usability and sheer drivability.
Any Mk2 GTI is a treat but Oak Green, three-door ‘big bumper’ cars are the Holy Grail.
Here is one. And it is a good one. But where to start? There’s the handful of registered keepers, genuine full service history and long MOT. Then there’s the extensive investment since 2015 including a full respray and wheel refurbishment.
The vendor is only selling as he is trimming down his collection, which is surely a great opportunity for enthusiasts not just of desirable spec Mk2s but of great drivers’ cars.
