Description
For Sale – 1982 VW Golf GTI (Mars Red)
Registration: CHK 975X
Date Registered: 14 April 1982
Keeper Since: 1 November 1996
This is a rare and historic Volkswagen Golf GTI in the most sought-after colour – Mars Red – complete with its original interior. A true family heirloom, we have proudly owned this car since 1996.
The car was professionally restored in the late 1990s at a cost of over £6, 000, and kept in its original condition – my father was never a fan of aftermarket modifications. Unfortunately, due to the demands of running a business, raising a family, and now enjoying time with grandchildren, the car has not received the love it deserves in recent years.
There are now very few examples like this left on the road, making it an ideal project for an enthusiast looking to bring a genuine classic back to life.
Condition & Details:
Not currently running – some corrosion has developed, and the body will require attention.
Has seen very little road use in the past 15 years.
Built to last – with some mechanical work, it could run again.
Honest photos provided to show its current condition.
Completely original specification.
Extra Available:
We also have a brand-new bottom end for the engine (never used) – a rare and valuable part in itself. This can be sold separately to the car if desired.
If you are a classic VW enthusiast looking for a true survivor in need of restoration, this is a fantastic opportunity.
Serious enquiries only. The vehicle was bought by a true enthusiast hoping to restore it to the standard it had when it left the showroom. It was my dad’s teenage dream. Even by modern standards, these cars are still great to drive and offer a driving experience you simply don’t get in the hybrid and electric world of today.
