The second generation of the Volkswagen Golf was launched in Europe at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September 1983, with sales beginning in its homeland and most other left hand drive markets soon after. It debuted in March 1984 on the right hand drive British market. It was Volkswagen's highest volume seller from 1983 and ended production in late 1992, to be replaced by the Golf Mk. III. The Mk. II was larger than the Mk. I; its wheelbase grew slightly by 3.0 in, as did exterior dimensions length 7.1 in, width 2.2 in, and height 0.2 in. Weight was up accordingly by about 260 lbs.

Exterior design, developed in-house by VW design director Schäfer, kept the general lines of its Giugiaro-designed predecessor, but was slightly more rounded. The Mk. II was supplied with a wider range of engine options, including a GTD turbo diesel using the 1.6 ‘umwelt’ (ECO) diesel engine, a DOHC 1781cc 16-valve version of the straight-four GTi as well as the tried and tested 1781cc 8v GTi. All told, about 6.3 million second-generation Golfs were built.

Originally registered on 6th September 1989 this 16 valve 1781cc Golf GTi presents in delightful condition. Owned by a private collector the reason for purchasing this Volkswagen was the outstanding history with the car and unmarked order throughout. Clearly this example has been exceptionally well looked after and defies its mileage as the two folders of history will confirm. This is an authentic example of one of the most popular cars of the eighties. Given that the value of similar models has seen a recent rise and considering the stunning condition of this 16 valve GTi it deserves strong consideration by any collector or enthusiast.

Benefitting from refurbished and unmarked BBS alloy wheels, with new tyres, this Volkswagen Golf needs to be seen to be fully appreciated. Consigned by Stewart Banks.
