We've all heard of "that difficult second album", but it's safe to say that the Mk2 Volkswagen Golf was a worthy successor to Giugiaro's original. Well-preserved, original examples are becoming increasingly difficult to find.
The GL 4+E 1.8 variant, with its larger-capacity engine and generous specification, represents a particularly appealing proposition for the discerning enthusiast.
This 1991 example has been in the same ownership since February 1996, a remarkable tenure of some 30 years. The car was the current keeper's late wife's, and it has been garaged since 2002, resulting in very gentle use over the past two decades. Showing 31,325 miles on the odometer, the vendor reports that the car remains completely original A handful of minor cosmetic blemishes are noted, but this is otherwise a well-kept survivor that presents beautifully for its age.fd824063-8f1a-4022-bb24-2a148ac1e05d.webp271.07 KB
