The Appeal
Can you believe that this Golf GTi is now seventeen years old? It certainly doesn’t look it. Not only has the Mk5’s shape aged so gracefully, this also happens to be a superlative example thanks to its incredibly low mileage. Seldom are such well-preserved examples offered for sale, so don’t miss this excellent opportunity.
The vendor informs us that this Golf had just one previous owner before being imported to the UK in August 2023. Now MOT tested (with no advisories), equipped with a MPH speedometer and accompanied by an English book pack, it’s ready to be enjoyed on UK roads.
