Description
Highlights: Unique and highly sought-after headlight grille. MOT valid until 2026. Original 5½J alloy wheels with Yokohama tyres. An exceptionally well-maintained, original example. It runs perfectly and is ready to go. Appeal: for many, it’s the sports saloon par excellence. The Golf GTI Mk1 challenged the received wisdom of a capable car: a car able to outpace a contemporary Ferrari on country roads, while still practical enough for school runs. This 1982 example appears to be in exceptional condition for its age. The bodywork seems very well preserved and sports a bright, glossy red paint finish. The Golf still retains its original 5½J alloy wheels, which appear to have been carefully refurbished. The interior, meanwhile, looks almost as new as it did in 1982. If you’re looking for an excellent example of this Volkswagen icon, this car is for you. This Golf has clearly benefited from a high-quality restoration or refurbishment. The bodywork appears extremely straight and solid; the seller reports no notable wear, damage or corrosion. The bright red paint shows no notable defects. Original 5. 5J alloy wheels with Yokohama tyres. Elegant plastics, badges and bumpers. A vintage-style, stylish grille without the larger quadruple headlights found on some GTIs. Interior in excellent condition, with minimal wear to the original upholstery. A few visible marks on the rear headlining (photographed). The dash, instruments and controls appear in good condition, and no known issues have been reported. Mechanical: 1. 6-litre petrol engine, four cylinders, fuel-injected. Five-speed manual gearbox. Original engine bay in good condition. Spanish MOT.
