Classic hatchback in full period condition

The Appeal

Perhaps one of the most influential mid-sized cars in history, the MK2 Golf was, for many, the perfect balance. Solid, practical, reliable and with hugely recognisable styling, these cars still carried plenty of agility, spark and character to cement them in the eyes of enthusiasts. It wasn’t just a hot hatch - it was practically THE hot hatch.

This example comes to us in rare order, having seen no major modifications unlike many other examples of this highly tunable car. As a result, it’s a real time-warp, and a great opportunity to either modify or keep it standard.
