1991 Volkswagen Golf GTI 5-door ‘big bumper’

Highlights

  • Well-loved late Mark 2 VW Golf GTI
  • 'Big bumper' model in Pearl Grey metallic
  • MOT valid until June 1, 2027
  • Highly original interior with subtle upgrades
  • Plentiful work carried out over 12-year ownership

The Appeal

The second generation of the legendary Golf GTI brought more space and comfort while retaining the performance, handling and understated styling that had made the original such a success. It also became available in five-door form, such as this example, which is a later 1991 eight-valve model with the 'big bumpers' that created a sportier, more modern look.

The exterior of the car is in Pearl Grey metallic, with correct 'GTI' badging present, as well as cross-spoke alloy wheels and chromed twin exhaust finishers. The seller states there are 'some small dents and scratches', together with 'some age-related rust around the wiper spindles and at the top and bottom of the driver's door'. The sills are described as being rust-free and recently welded.

The gray interior is largely original, with striped cloth trim, 'golf ball' gear knob and sunroof. The seller states they have fitted a non-original radio plus speakers in the parcel shelf, and upgraded the dashboard lights to LED and replaced the LCD screen around 2024.
The seller says that they have owned this car for 12 years, during which 'plentiful mechanical work' has been undertaken. The car is described as being in 'excellent mechanical condition, with no known faults'. Subtle upgrades include a full stainless free-flow exhaust.
This cared-for car is now ready to provide a new owner with the unfiltered driving pleasure that the Golf GTI is known for.
