EXTERIOR
This stunning Mk1 GTI presents in excellent condition throughout. As one of only 1, 000 genuine UK Campaigns the car sports the correct Mk1 Pirelli alloy wheels, a twin lamp grille, sliding steel sunroof, black A pillar trims, and a few other details including green-tinted glass all round. The Alpine White paintwork still looks really sharp with a swirl-free shine and uniform colour across every panel. The black side stripes are a perfect accompaniment and both bumpers are without any damage or wear; all the trims, badges, lights, and rubbers are also in first-rate condition. With only a few minor blemishes evidencing the car’s age this is a fantastic example of the legendary Mk1 Golf GTI, looking every bit the low mileage of 54k miles.
INTERIOR
Inside you’re greeted by an immaculately presented and highly original interior. Having never required a re-trim the deeply bolstered sports seats look superb in their factory striped cloth with no wear or marking to any of the upholstery. The carpets are also spotless and fade-free, and there are no cracks or scratches to report on the dash, centre console, or door cards. Another nice touch is the original Blaupunkt radio that remains in place having never been swapped out for an aftermarket unit. The rear seats are also in perfect order and the parcel shelf is excellent with no holes or damage resulting from the fitment of additional speakers. The original VW options sticker is present and correct in the boot.
ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION
The engine bay looks fantastic, not overly dressed but in great original condition. The Alpine White paintwork appears in fine order with no signs of corrosion in any of the common weak spots, and the engine itself looks very tidy with only expected surface patina to note. For the new keeper’s peace of mind the Golf comes fully inspected and freshly serviced at the current mileage by our trusted classic car specialist.
WHEELS, TYRES AND BRAKES
The Campaign sits on its factory 14-inch Pirelli alloy wheels, all in excellent unmarked condition with the correct Pirelli centre caps and 7mm spacing between the black P slots. They are shod in a matching set of Pirelli Cinturato tyres all with at least 6mm of tread remaining. The brakes have also been checked and present in fine operational condition.
HISTORY FILE
First registered in October 1983 this special Mk1 GTI has now driven only 54k miles in the hands of just 4 registered keepers (current since 2016). Within the accompanying History File the lucky new owner will be presented with the original VW document wallet and all owner’s manuals, a raft of invoices and MOT certificates, historic tax discs, Blaupunkt radio instructions, an original GTI Campaign sales brochure, and the spare key.
Low mileage, unrestored Mk1 GTIs are getting very thin on the ground and so to find a Campaign with only 54k miles under its belt is a particularly rare treat. This one has clearly been well maintained throughout its life and while a limited amount of paperwork is available the condition really speaks for itself.
