When it comes to the iconic hatchback, you'd be hard-pressed to find better than the Golf. Simple, robust and agile, these perky little machines were the perfect city car, perfect for rallying - a real masterpiece for the ages that continues to resonate with generation after generation of enthusiasts, remaining eminently usable and fun-to-handle.
This particular example is remarkable for its single-owner history spanning 37 years. Purchased new in January 1989 and garaged every night since, it has been used sparingly at approximately 200 miles per annum, primarily for local journeys with the longest trip being a house move from Cheltenham to Surrey.
Having covered a scant 41,692 miles, this handsome car retains its factory standard engine and has been regularly maintained, last serviced at 40,395 miles. the car is adjoined by a valid MOT until December 2026 and by all accounts is ready and waiting to go.image.png1.5 MB
