The Appeal
Replacing the long-lived Beetle was never going to be a simple task and several of Volkswagen’s initial attempts failed to match its popularity. The Golf, however, was successful. Penned by Giugiaro, it became an instant design classic and remains one of VW’s most well-regarded models.
This 1982 Mk1 example is in very good condition for its age, benefitting from some restoration work while maintaining its originality and charm. The exterior has been recently repainted, giving it a fresh look and showing off what a straight and solid example this is. The car is UK registered, ULEZ compliant and MOT and road tax exempt, making it a hassle-free option for classic car enthusiasts in the UK.
