The Appeal
This second generation Golf GTi continued the huge success of the Volkswagen hot hatch phenomenon that was started with the Mark 1.
The VW Golf was always at the top of the hatchback sales charts and the GTi added great handling and performance to the extremely practical and versatile hatchback format.
This 2 owner, un-molested, and genuine GTi is sure to be a hot item at auction as these iconic early VW Golfs are very much in demand these days from motoring enthusiasts and collectors wishing to own a piece of motoring history.
The Mark 2 golf GTi still looks great today and is a rewarding and fun car to drive with its eager 1.8 Litre engine, a 5 speed manual gearbox and a very responsive and agile chassis.

Summary
Owned and cherished for the last 30 years this is a nice and genuine example of the king of hot hatches from the 80’s that is ready to engage and enthrall its lucky new owner.
Kept totally original throughout its years, the car’s low mileage and generally good all round condition is also bound to prove to be a good investment with prices for early GTi’s continuing to increase, especially for those rare un-molested and original cars.
