The Appeal
We are delighted to offer this 1989 Volkswagen MK1 Golf Clipper Cabriolet in black with contrasting grey cloth interior. This seminal model boasts an impressive heritage, having been essentially coach-built at the prestigious Karmann factory rather than the Wolfsburg plant assembly line.
The Clipper bodykit with super stylish side skirts, large bumpers and wheel-arch extensions as well as Mk2 style grille enhances the iconic Mk1 Golf silhouette.
Original grey cloth interior in excellent condition
Roof lining and carpets in good condition
Leather door panelling in good condition

Presented in outstanding condition, most notably the immaculately preserved original grey cloth interior which belies its age but underlines the stunning low mileage and loving care with which this model has been treated.
The Exterior
Original paintwork in excellent condition
Fixtures and fittings in excellent condition
Convertible roof in good condition with some minor repairs
15” Le Castelet alloy wheels
Clipper Bodykit featuring Mk2 style grille, side skirt, body coloured bumpers and wheel extensions
Equally presented in outstanding condition minor some minor blemishes commensurate with a vehicle of this age. The original paintwork and fixtures and fittings are in great order, the Alloy Wheels well-kept and the esteemed Clipper bodykit remarkably resplendent. The convertible roof is in good condition with some very minor tears which have been taped over but reportedly no leaks. There is minor surface rust apparent on the underside.
The Mechanics

Smooth automatic transmission
