1990 Volkswagen Karmann MK1 GTI 8v golf · Convertible · ~148K

Original apart from a replacement hood about 8 years ago and a respray ~5 years ago. Full-service history up to 95k, lots of history and owned by myself for the last ~15 years. Brand new MOT with no advisories and a replacement tyre. I used it as my daily car (pre-COVID) but now own a family car and can’t find the time the car needs for general TLC and use.

A car of this age needs some attention:
A small amount of paintwork is bubbling and rust is showing around the rear wings at the base/ join of the electric hood.
- A small 50pence size of rust on the passenger side front window sill.
- The driver's side chair has started to wear on the back side support and has a patch that will need recovering due to foam showing through.
- Soft-top hood wire that wraps around the base of the hood needs replacing.
- The power hood has a loose electronic connection.
- (Recent issue) Engine cuts out after 10 minutes of running idle.

I have spares to go with the sale:
- 4 German original BBS wheels (matching numbers)
- 2 rear lights, lens
- 2 K-jet metering heads
- Indicators and other spares for fuel.

More photos on request if needed and video too.

It's an honest car with years of love and historical paperwork but it’s time for it to go to a VW fan and enthusiast.
