Reported by the vendor to be in factory-original specification
Garage kept by current and previous owner
Serviced every 1,000 miles during current ownership
Previous V5Cs available, with early registered keepers within the same family
MOT valid until April 2027 with no advisories
The Appeal
The Mk2 Volkswagen Golf GTi remains one of the most cherished hatchbacks of its generation, and finding an example that has been kept in factory-original specification is becoming increasingly difficult as so many have been modified or lost to neglect. The 1.8-litre variant offers a rewarding blend of responsiveness and everyday usability that continues to attract enthusiasts.
This 1991 example has benefited from attentive, garage-kept ownership throughout its life. The first few registered keepers were within the same family, and previous V5Cs are available to help trace its history. The current owner, who purchased the car in 2021, has maintained a regular servicing schedule with no faults arising during that time. Mechanical work has included replacement brake pads and a calliper, fresh spark plugs, and a new battery fitted under warranty. The underside has been sealed for added protection.
The vendor describes the car as a pleasure to drive: responsive, nippy, and starting first time every time. With a valid MOT until April 2027 and its original specification reportedly intact, this Golf Mk2 presents a fine opportunity for collectors and enthusiasts alike.29 1991 VW GOLF GTI HIGH RES.jpg6.4 MB
