Very sought-after limited edition “Étienne Aigner”
According to the seller, it would have kept its original paint and has never been repainted
Always stored in a garage under a protective cover, within the seller’s collection
The appeal
The Volkswagen Golf Mk1 Cabriolet is one of the era’s most popular convertibles, and this 1990 example also carries the distinctive status of a limited edition “Étienne Aigner.” This collaboration with the prestigious Austrian luxury house adds exclusive upholstery and presentation details, further enhancing the appeal of a model that is already particularly attractive.
Available information suggests this Golf Cabriolet has had only two previous owners before being acquired by the current seller in 2024. It presents today as an honest, un-restored example, showing a patina and a few signs of use consistent with its age.
The bodywork, paint, interior, and mechanicals are described by the seller as being in very good condition. The vehicle has also benefited from regular maintenance and a satisfactory service history.image.png1.2 MB

This sale is subject to Car & Classic’s terms and conditions. By bidding and/or making an offer, you also agree to the following:
✓ The seller is registered as a private seller, meaning European consumer protection rights do not apply. However, you are still covered by Car & Classic’s terms and conditions.
✓ We require non-refundable fees to be paid if you are the successful bidder or if your offer is accepted. Please refer to our FAQs and terms for specific rates.
✓ This vehicle is "as is", on a "as seen, where is" basis and without warranty. Photos and descriptions are provided for guidance only, and it is standard practice to arrange a full vehicle inspection before purchase for peace of mind.
✓ VAT is included in the buyer’s deposit. VAT may or may not be included in the final offer or bid price, as stated in the listing.
✓ We aim to ensure a smooth transaction, just as you do, which is why UK-registered cars and motorcycles listed on Car & Classic are subject to an HPI check to verify that they have no basic insurance database markers for damage or theft, and that they are not subject to a financial lien, allowing you to bid with confidence.
✓ We also verify whether vehicles are recorded as cat off (written off) in the event of a total loss at the time the listing is placed on Car & Classic and we provide category labels (Cat C/D/S/N) to help you. The presence or absence of a label does not guarantee the vehicle’s status, and it is always prudent to perform a full vehicle history check before placing a bid.
✓ Buyers are responsible for pickup or delivery of the vehicle. Importing vehicles may incur additional duties and taxes. If you wish, we can recommend a third-party transport company to assist. For more details and to speak with the team, please email auctions@carandclassic.com.
