Description
After 12 years of ownership, it is time to sell my restored Mk1 Golf GTI. The car has been garaged during my ownership, serviced regularly, and done around 300 miles a year. It is registered as a historic vehicle with the DVLA. Selling with fresh MOT (4th June 2024/ 25), passed first time with no advisories.
The car has been meticulously maintained and regularly serviced. The engine was rebuilt in 2020 (mileage 171, 311) with new pistons, mains and big end bearings, pressure test cylinder head, recon cylinder head, recon oil pump, timing belt etc. New water hoses were fitted in 2020. New rear brakes and drums were fitted along with a new handbrake cable in 2023.
In 2022 the car was restored to original condition with welding works done and a full re-spray. I have many pictures of this work which will come with the vehicle.
The car will be sold with the BBS alloys and will also come with the original set of Tarantula alloys. Tyres were replaced a few years ago and upgraded to Yokohama’s.
The interior is in great original condition as can be seen
Bad points - the sun roof works but is a little 'sticky' when closing, a new sunroof seal is needed. The boot has had a new seal but needs a firm hand to close. A dash illumination bulb is blown. the parcel shelf is a little tatty but I am probably being picky!
There is a complete file of parts bills, receipts, servicing etc and it also has the very rare VAG service book present. The Mk1 Golf GTI is the iconic car that begun the hot hatch movement and never fails to draw admiring looks.
