Highlights
- Not often seen cabriolet body shape Golf
- Completed project in great condition
- Recently replaced cam belt
The Appeal
The Cabriolet body shape may not be something we immediately think of when mentioning the Golf, but it certainly is an iconic model. And for those in search of a top-down driving experience without the impracticality of a roadster, surely this is a best of both worlds scenario.
The current owner bought this 2001 example as their first car giving it a spruce up from the electric windows to the soft-top roof. Now moving on to something more recent, the car is ready to give its next owner a sense of freedom.
History and Paperwork
- First registered 2001
- Bought by current owner at auction in December 2021
- Plenty of work carried out
- Cam belt replaced at 71,000 miles
- Dry stored under current ownership
- Just 85,500 miles in total
- Original vehicle wallet and owner manuals included
- MOT until April 2023
The Interior
- Good overall condition
- Fully functioning roof mechanism
- Top-down driving at its best
Originally bought with a non-functioning driver-side electric window and roof mechanism, the current owner carried out work to fix both issues. The car’s electronics are now in fully functioning state, with an additional aftermarket radio implementing USB connectivity linked to a 6-disc changer.
Elsewhere, the black and blue two-tone seats are in seemingly good shape with just a small tear in the driver’s seat to mention. The rest of the fabric throughout the interior from the carpets to the door cards also look in great condition.
A few signs of wear can be seen on places such as the gear knob and door handles, though surprisingly, the steering wheel is in particularly good nick, as are the buttons on the centre console.
The boot also looks well kept and, as one would expect, holds the spare wheel and toolkit.
With the top down, or up, the cabin of this 2001 Golf is very good looking and is surely a nice place to be on any trip.
The Exterior
- Great VW Golf cabrio styling
- Overall, very good condition
Certainly, when one thinks of a VW Golf, the first thing that springs to mind is far from an elegant cabriolet. Though, this car certainly breaks the mould set for the long-standing model, especially for its Mk4 iteration.
That being said, this 2001 example looks the part and is surely an excellent model for the young petrol head looking for a fun car in which to have a first taste of freedom. Furthermore, finished in this lovely dark blue colour, the model looks fantastic.
A few scuff marks, notably on the passenger side door adorn the model while the wheels also have varying degrees of marks. Overall, though, the car is in good condition having been well preserved by the current owner.
The soft top roof also seems to be healthy keeping its shape very well while, as previously mentioned, the mechanism operating it has been overhauled in the past 12 months.
The Mechanics
- ‘Fairly pokey’ despite modest engine
- Recently replaced cam belt
Under the bonnet, the engine bay looks healthy enough and has plenty of potential to shine with a bit of TLC.
Whether it’s sat in the most beautiful engine bay or covered in leaves, the small, 2-litre inline four won’t be fussed. Known for great reliability, this Mk4 Golf is surely ready for plenty of miles ahead. Even more so thanks to a replaced cam belt just 14,000 miles ago.
Despite its size, the engine has plenty of go, the vendor describing it as ‘fairly pokey.’ And with a soundtrack supposedly identical to when it left the factory, it clearly has been cared for properly throughout its life.
Summary
Bought as a first car, this quirky Golf Cabrio has served its current owner well and is ready to do the same for its next. With open-top driving available in a reliable and safe hatch back, it seems there’s nothing this car can’t do.
And with plenty of work gone into the car in recent months, it is ready to give its next owner a great time on the open road.

Come funzionano le offerte massime
Il processo di offerta massima ti permette di fare offerte senza preoccupazioni.
Inserisci la tua offerta massima e il sistema farà offerte automaticamente per assicurarsi che tu sia il miglior offerente - fino all'ammontare da te stabilito come tetto massimo.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic contrasta il fenomeno dello “sniping”, ovvero il fenomeno dei rilanci all'ultimo secondo per vincere l'asta.
Se viene fatta un'offerta nei 3 minuti prima della chiusura dell'asta, la scadenza di questa viene automaticamente estesa di 2 minuti per permettere agli altri offerenti di reagire e, se lo desiderano, di rilanciare.
Incrementi di offerta automatica
- Se la sua offerta massima è uguale o inferiore al prezzo di riserva, la sua offerta massima sarà applicata per intero se lei è il miglior offerente.
- Se siete il miglior offerente e fate un'offerta massima superiore a quella di riserva, la riserva verrà automaticamente inserita come prima offerta.
-
- Una volta raggiunta la riserva, Car & Classic si assicurerà che tu sia il miglior offerente utilizzando solo gli incrementi di offerta indicati di seguito.
- Vi terremo in testa fino alla vostra offerta massima O all'incremento più vicino alla vostra offerta massima, a condizione che la vostra offerta massima sia sufficiente a coprire il valore dell'incremento.
| Ammontare dell'offerta | Incremento |
|---|---|
| Da £0 a £9,999 | £100.00 |
| Da £10,000 a £49,999 | £250.00 |
| Da £50,000 a £99,999 | £500.00 |
| £100,000 + | £1,000.00 |
Superamento immediato dell'offerta
Quando piazzi un'offerta massima e questa viene immediatamente superata, questo significa che un altro offerente ha impostato una soglia di offerta massima superiore alla tua.
Puoi fare nuovamente un'offerta o impostare una soglia più alta di offerta massima e il nostro sistema rilancerà fino alla nuova soglia, cercando di portarti a essere il miglior offerente.
Offerte massime di pari ammontare
Quando ci sono due offerte massime di pari ammontare, quella impostata per prima è quella che viene considerata “migliore offerta”.
Pre-autorizzazione
Potremmo trattenere un piccolo importo di pre-autorizzazione sulla tua carta fino alla fine dell'asta, quando quest'ultimo verrà poi stornato. Se vinci, verrà prelevata una caparra che verrà detratta dal pagamento del prezzo di vendita per il veicolo e non comporta costi aggiuntivi per te.
Cosa sono le Offerte pre-asta?
Offerte pre-asta significa che avete la possibilità di fare offerte prima dell'inizio ufficiale dell'asta.
Verrà comunicato se si è il miglior offerente o meno all'inizio dell'asta.
Problema con l'offerta
Le offerte sono contrattualmente vincolanti. Per tutelare l'utente, sono previste alcune regole nel caso in cui si ritenga che sia stato digitato in modo errato. Si prega di controllare e modificare quanto inserito.
