Description
Up for sale is an iconic Mk2 Volkswagen Golf GTI 8V finished in original Tornado Red and sitting on classic Teardrop alloy wheels.
This car is completely rust-free, which is exceptionally rare for Mk2 Golfs. The bodywork and chassis are in outstanding structural condition:
• Sills & Wheel Arches: Completely solid and rust-free all round.
• Fuel Filler Area: No signs of corrosion behind the fuel filler neck—one of the most notorious Mk2 weak spots.
• Underside: Exceptionally clean and solid underneath.
It has recently undergone an extensive mechanical and cosmetic recommissioning to get it running and driving as it should, making it a fantastic turnkey classic for any enthusiast or collector.

Does have some mild patina around the bodywork as to be expected but nothing that needs addressing in my opinion.

Does come with its wallet and handbooks including the service record with multiple stamps and written entries from over the years.
