Description
1991 phase 2 1. 6 GTI in red with just short of 81000 miles on the clock .
Powered steering option , sunroof version .
Running on a set of 1. 9 alloys in immaculate condition with a 1. 9 half leather interior . I also have the full set of 1. 6 alloys in need of refurbishment but which will be included together with a number of spare parts handed down by the restorer.
Modern immobiliser installed .
Remote central locking .
Many many images available of the break down and re-assembly process available on request .
I acquired this vehicle 3 years ago from a private restorers collection in Cumbria . The vehicle had undergone a complete nuts and bolts restoration including a full engine rebuild .
The work was prompted after the vehicle received a Cat C status in early 2000’s as a result of quite minor ROS damage . At the time the vehicle was probably worth less than £1000 hence the rush by an insurance company to Cat C an otherwise sound vehicle . The pictures of the car fully represent the excellent condition this car is in. Excellent stance and a real attention grabber .
The engine runs reliably and true to the 1. 6 variant is a revvy fun drive . It’s easy to feel you’re breaking the sound barrier whilst in reality you’ve not yet passed the national limit . Lots of documentation and receipts .
Last serviced in May 2025 .
Mot till May 2026 .
The car hasn’t been run through the winter since its restoration was completed and will be Sorn from the beginning on November .
Happy to answer any questions .
