1989 VW Golf GTI 8v 5dr

I am now selling this car as it is surplus to requirements as I can’t drive three cars, and as I can’t sell my company car and won’t sell my Chevette then the Golf has to go.

Good Points:-

• Original and unmolested 8v Mk2 GTI getting hard to find.
• Lots of history and bills totalling just shy of £7000
• 8 old MOT’s
• Very low mileage for an 18year old car
• 4x Pirelli P6000 tyres that have only done about 500 miles
• Original spacesaver spare
• Totally HPI clear I have two reports one from the person I bought off the other that I did before buying.
• Original Panasonic Radio Cassette fitted with an optional pull out one included in the sale.
• Still has original Golf ball gearknob and 2 x original VW keys.
• In the past 16 months it has had the following fitted
o New light switch and light harness after a short.
o RH front wheel bearing
o 4 x Pirelli tyres
o New exhaust
o Timing Belt

Not so Good:-

I wouldn’t call these bad points but it is only fair to state them. In my opinion it shows the originality of the car and that it has never had any spray or repair work.

• NSF wing small crease under the bumper looks like it nudged a kerb
• NSF wing very small rust visible just above bumper
• NSF wheel arch spat very minor scratch
• OSF door very slight crease under coachline and small bit of rust on lower door.
• OS back panel scratch that has been touched up
• Rear bumper small scuff at NSR
• NSR door tiny bit of rust
• Roof one tiny rust spot
• Windscreen chipped but this wasn’t an Mot failure and has been like it since I bought the car.
• Front wiper blanking plate for LHD, slight rust appearing around the bung.
• Interior gear shift gaitor is slightly torn at the top and driver seat bolster lacks a bit of support but is not worn through.

In summary if you are looking for a nice unmolested GTI 8v this is for you and in all honesty it wouldn’t take much to turn this car into condition 1. The original barcodes from when it left the factory are still visible on the door shuts and in the boot. Everything on this car is genuine and most of the scrapes I would say are parking dinks over the past 18 years. From 1992 until 2005 this car was owned by an old lady in Maidstone who cherished it but I am sure was responsible for a few of the dinks. I know this because when I bought the car it had the stamped service history but no invoices, so on the off chance I looked up the previous owner and called her. After a lengthy chat she very kindly sent me all the history that she had held onto. The rust that I mention above is nothing more than a few millimetres each they really are small blisters.

Finally worked out how to post piccies but less than 3 days left on auction, potential to grab a bargain.

Any other pics needed just ask.
