Rare early 1.6-litre GTi with just one previous owner, less than 54,000 miles and on top form.
Offered here is a first generation Golf GTi with just one previous owner and only 53,540 miles from new. It was originally supplied new to its first owner by VW main dealer Guilders of Sheffield in Mars Red with black and white cloth trim which, even today, still looks like new. He enjoyed it for many years and then, for some reason, put into professional storage where it remained on stands for nearly 20 years. In 2018, it was recommissioned, and subsequently sold by us in 2019 to our collector vendor who has sympathetically improved it over four years and, as you can see from our images, it looks amazing. It's supplied with the original book packs, manuals etc. and both keys.
Rightfully heralded as the ‘Hot Hatch’ that started it all, the first generation Golf GTi truly deserves that accolade and surely makes the list of the top-ten cars of the last 50 years.
