1985(B) VW Golf GTI - £300 - Bedfordshire

Reluctant sale of my early B-reg Mk2 Golf GTi

Finished in Lhasa Green Metallic - a colour not offered in the UK for early GTis. This car was a private import from an army officer with full UK spec (RHD, miles, etc). I only know of one other in this colour that was a project car in VW Motoring magazine.

As this is one of the first GTis, it comes complete with some now rare features:

- single headlamp grille with red surround
- single tail pipe exhaust
- no side trim, has Mk1 style silver stripes
- 13" 9 spoke alloys
- Petrol Green stripe interior (unique to Lhasa Green) in excellent condition

It also has factory sun roof and green tinted windows (looks good with the paint colour)

I bought this a few years ago with a view to restoring it but I don't think I am ever going to get time to do it.

Declared SORN, no MOT. Last MOT failure sheet shows headlamps need aligning and rough edges to rear arch. Comes complete with stamped VW service book, manuals, etc

Bad points:

- needs complete rear arch and partial outer sill on one side
- small dent to front wing
- needs polishing with compound to remove overspray
- needs battery and a tyre

I am selling this as a non-runner, but I am able to deliver the car depending on location as separate negotiation. The engine ran OK when I bought the car and drove to my house though I have not tried to start it since.

This is an easily restored, unique example of what is becoming a classic car. Early Mk2 GTis are now as sought after as the early Mk1 GTis!

PM with questions. I will try and take more pics soon. Located in Bedforshire. £300
