1984 Volkswagen Scirocco MK2 GT For Sale

The Appeal

Built on the A1 platform (the basis of the Mk1 Golf), the Mk2 Scirocco was the Mk2 Golf’s pretty, fine-handling cousin. That handsome coupé styling was coupled to a range of drivetrains and trim levels that offered something for everyone. Production ended in 1992, so they are now a rare sight on the road, and are increasingly collectible and appreciating in value.

This example was saved from potential scrappage by the current owner, who has spent around £4,000 getting the car lightly restored and recommissioned. Now they are unable to use it as much so are offering it for sale.
