Description

VW Golf Mk3 Avantgarde Convertible 2. 0L – Lovely, Rare Factory LK2Y Orange Metallic, Comprehensive service history & timing belt replaced at 114, 878 miles.
2021 new cream roof.
MOT until 22nd April 2027.
Last service was carried out at 115, 433 miles.
The car is completely original from new
This is an exceptionally rare and beautifully preserved 1996 Volkswagen Golf Mk3 Avantgarde Convertible, in very good condition throughout.
This particular vehicle is a standout survivor, finished from the factory in the incredibly elusive and highly sought-after LK2Y Orange Metallic (Cinnabar) paint. It is perfectly contrasted by a striking cream power-folding roof.
Just 117, 000 miles from new.
Legendary 2. 0-litre 8-valve petrol engine (AGG engine code) the exact same ultra-reliable as found in the iconic Mk3 Golf GTI 8v, offering effortless cruising and incredibly easy parts availability.
It has a comprehensive history proving it has been meticulously maintained by its two previous owners. It even has the original bill of sale, and owners handbook. The service history book shows 20 service stamps, 19 of which are VW main dealer stamps.
The vital cambelt service has been completed, and the car retains its original factory-fitted Volkswagen Sony cassette stereo system for true period-correct charm.
The contrasting cream electric folding roof was replaced brand new in 2021 and remains in immaculate condition, free from the typical weathering, staining, or moss common to lighter tops.
Hand-assembled by the legendary Karmann Coachworks factory in Osnabrück, Germany. The structural integrity is excellent, and the Orange Metallic paintwork holds a deep, vibrant gloss.
Top-of-the-range Avantgarde model equipped with 14-inch alloy wheels, 5-speed manual box, trip computer system, remote central locking (2 x keys present), electric windows, and mirrors.
This is a rare opportunity to own a highly collectable, final-era Mk3 convertible in one of Volkswagen's absolute best retro colour palettes. Perfect for the upcoming show season, local meets, or weekend coastal drives.
Price: £3, 400 ONO
Please note the instrument cluster was replaced in April this year at 116, 000 miles as it had stopped working. The new instrument cluster shows a mileage reading of 91, 840.
