Details:
1982 Volkswagen Golf GTI Mk1
Mars Red
Desirable 3-door, non-sunroof model
129,000 miles
8 previous owners
V5C logbook in my name
Tax and MOT exempt, registered as Historic Vehicle
Condition and history
The car has been stored in a dry garage for the last 9 years. I have owned it for 3 years, but due to having too many projects and limited space and time, I have recently had to move it onto my driveway.
For a 44-year-old car, it is complete and in really good overall shape, with straight bodywork.
Both front wings have been replaced previously due to rust at the bottom sections. Welding is required to the lower rear panel, so please bear this in mind.
Engine and mechanical condition
The car is currently a non-runner. The engine turns over freely, but I have not attempted to start it. It will need the cooling system and fuel system flushed, along with a full service, before any attempt to get it running.
Included with the car
A large amount of paperwork
Spare parts
Additional seats, including parts that may help repair the damaged driver's seat bolster
Ideal restoration project
This is a complete, desirable Mk1 Golf GTI with plenty of potential for someone looking to restore an iconic classic Volkswagen.
Please remember that the car is currently a non-runner and requires welding, so it would suit an enthusiast looking for a project rather than a ready-to-drive vehicle.
Feel free to get in touch for further information.
