Description
Some cars tell a story, and this 1990 Volkswagen Golf Driver is no exception. First registered in 1990, it found its way to Mr. R. Gibbs in April 1992, who cherished it from the moment he took ownership. For 25 years, he maintained it meticulously, always returning to the same trusted main dealer garage he bought it from for servicing. Every drive, every oil change, and every moment behind the wheel was part of a routine built on care and appreciation.
In 2017, after Mr. Gibbs sadly passed away, the car became the pride of his wife, who continued the same tradition—keeping it in immaculate condition and ensuring it remained in regular use. Even after decades, the Golf remained as reliable and well-loved as ever. In 2021, following Mrs. Gibbs' passing, the car was handed down to their son, who has preserved it with the same level of dedication.
This is more than just a well-kept classic—it’s a true time capsule, a rare find that has been enjoyed, respected, and maintained properly from day one. With only 57, 000 miles on the clock, it remains one of the best examples we’ve ever come across. From the immaculate interior to its smooth, solid drive, this Golf is ready for its next chapter. Whether you’re looking for a nostalgic weekend cruiser or a daily driver with history and character, this car fits the bill perfectly.
It comes complete with a sunroof, a period-correct stereo (including the original instruction manual), a full history of servicing and MOTs, original rubber floor mats, and even the factory jack and tool kit. The 1. 6L engine runs beautifully, making this a joy to drive.
The vehicle is located in our North Devon showroom, just a stones throw from the beaches of Woolacombe and Croyde, and we also offer nationwide and international delivery options for a hassle-free purchase. A rare opportunity to own a true survivor. Don’t miss out—contact us today!
