Description
1991 VW Golf GTi 8v 5 Door, 2 OWNERS FROM NEW and just 65, 000 miles. NEW MOT 8/ 1/ 2024 with NO advisories, Pearl Grey Metallic (LA7U) with the original boot sticker from the factory still in place (see photo).
Originally supplied by VW Wimbledon to Dial Contracts in Richmond, then bought by the second owner, see photo of V5 attached. Sunroof, Alloy wheels, original spare tire and ALL the tools present. This is a NO rust example of what has to be one of the greatest cars of our time (excluding the MK1 !).
In the last year it has gone through an extensive re-commissioning process including new all round springs / shock absorbers / brakes pads and discs / all fluids / cam belt / wheel bearings / cylinder head valve stem oil seals / head liner etc. Please email or call and we can supply all details and receipts.
Every time I drive this car I smile, it really is a lot of fun and everything you remember them to be - fast, responsive, stylish - a real icon of the era. Just need Paula Hamilton to complete the picture!
Photos : I have included the photos of the damage I can find but really, this car has no rust... any inspection is welcome. If you need more detailed photos of a particular area, please call or email.
History is very simple only having two owners and we have the full file and original MOT certificates along with extensive service history. You can look at the DVLA website and check MOT history.
Tear drop alloys wheels are in very good condition but personally I would fit BBS's which can be arranged at a price! Offers invited...
