EXTERIOR
This lovely 5dr ‘big bumper’ example in Royal Blue Metallic presents in excellent condition. The paintwork retains a deep lustful shine with only a few small imperfections to report on very close inspection. There is no rust to be found in any of the common Mk2 weak spots and she’s nice and straight along both sides. All the bumpers, wheel arch trims, and rubbing strips are free from any scuffs or scrapes, and the lights are clear with no damage or moisture ingress. Free from any unsightly black underseal the underside is also in great shape, remaining very solid having never required any welding. All in all, a superb example of the fast-appreciating Mk2 GTI, looking every bit the low mileage of just 46k.
INTERIOR
The interior of this Mk2 is one of the best we’ve seen. The seats are in remarkable condition with absolutely no wear or repairs to the bolsters, and the dash and surrounding trims are also first-rate. The headlining is perfect with no sagging, and the carpets are well protected in the footwells by a set of tailored VW overmats. The rear seats appear to have never been sat in and the boot is also particularly tidy. Everything looks and feels just as it did leaving the factory back in 1991, the only upgrade over standard being a high quality Becker CD player and electric aerial.
ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION
With only 46k miles under its belt the engine bay is clean and tidy, not overly dressed but in great original condition. Following on from a spell in dry storage, the car was lightly re-commissioned in 2019 with engine work including a cambelt change and water pump, a new radiator, alternator belt, and power steering belt. Additional work was carried out to the brakes and suspension, and a new exhaust was also fitted. The car has been serviced twice since then and comes freshly inspected by our trusted classic car workshop for the new keeper’s peace of mind.
WHEELS, TYRES AND BRAKES
The 15-inch BBS alloys are in perfect condition with absolutely no marking to speak of having previously been refurbished to a very high standard. They are shod in a matching set of Toyo Proxes T1-R tyres with 6mm of tread left at each corner. The brakes have also been checked and remain in fine operational condition with all new discs, pads, and braided hoses fitted within the last 2k miles. Most recently the car benefits from new front shocks, rear wheel bearings, and a brake fluid change.
HISTORY FILE
This 5-door GTI was first registered in March 1991; it was supplied new by Dovercourt VW in London, and their original dealer sticker can still be found in the rear window. The car has now driven just 46k miles in the hands of only 4 registered keepers. The accompanying history file is complete with the original VAG document wallet, owner’s manuals, service booklet, a stack of VW/ specialist invoices, a raft of old MOT certificates, and an original sales brochure from 1991. A VW heritage certificate is also present confirming the car’s build specification. An attractive low mileage example and a car we know well having sold it to the current owner.
