The Appeal
The Volkswagen Golf GTI Mk1 is widely regarded as the original hot hatch; certainly the first to refine the formula. Combining practical hatchback utility with sports car performance, it revolutionised the automotive industry.
This 1982 example embodies the pure, uncluttered design that made the Golf GTI an instant classic, featuring the iconic 1.6-litre engine paired with a responsive 5-speed manual transmission. Presented in black with a matching interior, this Belgian-registered Golf GTI appears to be in very good condition throughout, with a clean body and interior that belies its age.
