The Appeal
This handsome Clipper is a timely reminder of just how enduring Giugiaro’s lines for the original Golf are and how well they translate from hot hatch to convertible. These practical four seater drop tops are popular with enthusiasts and give access to a vibrant Volkswagen scene.
It is a very low mileage car that is in remarkable factory-standard condition, including the smart steel wheels and grey checked fabric interior. The handsome black paintwork is similarly well kept.
The five registered keepers since 1991 have maintained the car well. The last service was in 2023, just a few miles ago. Enthusiast owned, this is a well loved car and a proper head turner.
