EQUIPMENT
Alpine White paintwork, Black striped cloth sports seats, 15-inch 'Le Castellet' polished alloy wheels, Electric-folding soft-top with heated rear glass window, Roll-over bar, Body-coloured bumpers and wheel arch extensions, Front spoiler, Sports steering wheel, Electric front windows, Digital clock, Lockable glove compartment, Rubber overmats, Supplying dealer number plates, Sony cassette player, Spare key.
EXTERIOR
This stunning and surely unrepeatable example has been cherished from new, and with a mere 28k miles on the clock it's also one of the cleanest Mk1 Golfs we've seen. The Alpine White paintwork appears almost entirely unmarked, with a bright and uniform shine across every panel. The bumpers, wheel arch extensions and rubbing strips are all in excellent, scuff-free condition, and the 'Clipper' decals are all present and correct. Up top, the electric-folding hood is absolutely pristine with no damage or rips to be found. With a super clean underside and the original supplying dealer number plates still fitted, this beautifully preserved example is one for a true enthusiast.
INTERIOR
The classic Mk1 cabin appears fresh throughout. The unmarked sports seats are in first rate condition with no wear to report, even to commonly worn areas such as the driver's bolster. The pristine cloth upholstery presents with a delightful multicoloured weave on close inspection, this fabric extending to the door and side panels, again all like new. The white headlining is entirely mark-free, the dash fascia is perfect, and all controls work just as they should, including the electric-folding hood. In the front footwells the carpets are protected by a set of rubber VW overmats. Truly time warp in every respect, this magnificent example looks every bit the low mileage.
ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION
Barely run-in with only 28, 017 miles on the clock, the peppy 1. 8-litre engine is lovely and smooth, giving excellent and reliable performance along the way. Equipped with the desirable manual gearbox this low mileage Mk1 is a thoroughly enjoyable car to drive. It was last serviced at 27, 563 miles and the timing belt was most recently changed in September 2021. When the car was last checked over by our trusted specialist workshop the technicians were particularly impressed with the outstanding condition of the engine bay and underside, the car having clearly been properly garaged all its life.
WHEELS, TYRES AND BRAKES
The Clipper sits on 15-inch 'Le Castellet' forged alloys with a lovely polished finish; they are shod in matching tyres all round, each one with plenty of tread left having all been replaced in September 2021 at 27, 883 miles. The brakes also remain in fine operational condition having been fitted with a new set of pads within the last few hundred miles.
HISTORY FILE
The fantastic little Golf was first registered in November 1992. It was supplied new by Sinclair Garages VW in Swansea and remained a one-owner car for the majority of its life. It has now driven just 28k miles in the hands of only 4 registered keepers. Amazingly the original dealer window sticker and number plates are all still fitted. It’s also a car we know very well having sold it to the current owner.
Within the History File you'll find the original VW document pack complete with all owner's manuals, the stamped service booklet, a raft of invoices, past MOT certificates, and the spare key. The car was last serviced only 450 miles ago but will come freshly inspected for the new keeper's peace of mind. Brilliant parts availability, owners club support, and mechanical simplicity offer worry-free classic motoring allowing the next owner to concentrate solely on enjoyment.
