The Appeal

The Mk2 Volkswagen Golf GTI needs little introduction. Boxy, perky and agile, this car defined the hot-hatch genre throughout the late 1980s and remains one of the most sought-after pocket rockets of its era. Revered for its eager powertrain, communicative steering and timeless styling, the Mk2 GTI continues to command a loyal and growing following.

This 1988 example has been garage-stored and has recently undergone a service and overhaul. The vendor rates the bodywork, paintwork, interior, mechanical condition and service history as good, and reports that everything is in working order. If you're looking for a usable, well-maintained example of one of Volkswagen's most celebrated models, this ticks plenty of boxes.
