The Charm

How can you make a compact car even more fun? Just remove the roof, of course!

The Golf Cabriolet Mk1 is exactly that: a globally successful hatchback... but without the roof, perfect for summer. This 1990 example is distinguished by its exceptional ownership history: one owner until 2023, when it was acquired by the current seller.

After a period of storage, the car received an extensive mechanical overhaul to ensure its smooth running. With its original colour paintwork, professionally polished finish and well-preserved leather interior, this Golf Cabriolet is a fascinating way to experience a classic car with the wind in your hair.
