Genuine Anniversary model
Drives and presents very well
Becoming very sought after now
Here we have a very rare example of the always desirable Golf GTi, this being a little special as it is the Anniversary model with the 16v engine and in the 3-door body shell. If you know about these cars, you will be familiar with the colour and the interior trim. This example was first registered on 4/ 10/ 1996 by G. F. Evans & Sons Ltd of Criccieth to its first owner, a Mr Bogan of Liverpool, who kept the Golf for years when it came into the ownership of our vendor who has had it ever since - 26 years. In that time the vendor tells us that it was used very sparingly and was recently parked up and not used very much at all. Hence the displayed mileage of 57, 000 miles is credible and believable.
The VW comes with its original book pack and service book which contains 4 stamps. The interior is very nice and completely original, as is the exterior, but you could argue that there is a little bit of cleaning and maybe a bit of paint to do to the outside to make it perfect. As ever, the Golf is one of those cars that is timeless, will go forever and is probably one of the most famous and well known cars in the world. Being the GTi with the Anniversary specification makes it rather special. Remember, the Golf is the car that is famed with starting the “hot hatch” theme where all others followed in its wake.
This Golf would make for a great daily driver that would be very cool, or you could give it a bit of love and make it into a show car as we all know how big the VW scene is now. It could even be an ideal starter classic that would give many years of joy and reliability. If you want to come and see this great Golf, just come along to our purpose built facility in Cheshire and take a look.
