Description
Early Mark2 VW Scirocco GTi
Historic Vehicle Status; Tax & MOT Exempt, 88k Miles VAG Service History. (Bilstein/ Eibach/ Braced)
Matching Numbers with VW Factory Heritage Certificate
The Scirocco is a Karmann styled body on a Golf Mk1 chassis; with the same engine as the Mk1 Golf GTi; fun to drive and is a real niche/ enthusiasts vehicle
Body shape exceptionally low-drag factor; revolutionary for its time
Manufactured 1982
Exceptionally rare vehicle
In it's originally intended LHD form;
Being LHD It doesn't suffer from woolly steering, spongy brakes and a heavy clutch as the RHD converted versions do
It is not difficult to drive a LHD and this vehicle has good visibility
It is easy to park and has a practical deep boot space
It is also a rare basic specification vehicle with no sunroof (so the body is stiffer), no alloy wheels (original steel wheels) and no lower front fog-lights

Other Notes:
Original Key and one spare key; both keys operate everything
A new specialist front upper strut brace has just been received from the USA.
The heated rear screen isn't working, the driver's seat needs manual attention to relocate position although the mechanism has been rebuilt, there is a small stone-chip on the passenger side of the windscreen, the heater sometimes doesn't switch over to cool, the intermittent wiper after using wash/ wipe doesn't trigger, one headlamp washer jet isn't working. MFA trip computer was all working fine until the stalk switch wore out. Some of the original vinyl covering to the rear parcel shelf has lifted due to age, this could be reglued.

New Green Stuff Performance air filter, Two genuine VW rust free reclaimed front wings NLA (paid £500), spare genuine original Scirocco GTi front grill, second plain spare grill, spare front badge, EXPORT?= original KMH speedo, original LHD set of headlamps, second set of LHD headlamps with NLA Square Hella High-Beam units and many other small items of spares.
