Here we have for sale a 1989 Golf clipper.
The clipper was fitted with the GTI style body kit and quad lamps but the 1.8 carburettor engine.
This particular example has been my girlfriends daily driver for the last 18 months and has done sterling work of commuting to Manchester 3 days a week in all weathers. With a baby on the way we have to face up to the fact that we can't fit 2 child seats in it safely so it has to go.
Overall condition is good for the year with the main highlight for me being that it is standard and not messed around with in any way.
From the ride height and steel wheels to the removable Panasonic radio cassette, she is as she left the dealer in '89.
The motor is fitted with a Weber carb conversion, a big bonus as the standard pierburg is well known to be a pile of poo. The carb base gasket has been replaced in our ownership along with the alternator, where we replaced the failing aftermarket rubbish it was fitted with with a second hand Bosch item with a new brush pack.
The car comes with a quite extensive history including an engine refurb with a brand new cylinder head in 2002 and a new hood at about the same time. The hood of the car is still 100% watertight.
Negative points include wear to the drivers seat (pictured) some very small areas of cosmetic rust (also pictured) and the hood could do with a rear tension cable and some adjustment to the channel above the drivers door. The car seems to need a few seconds for full throttle to get started in the morning, but in my experience this is normal for an old VW on a carb!
The car is in need of a wash, I will try and get it washed and some more pictures up later in the week but time and the weather are not on my side!
Overall this is a lovely car that polishes up great and needs very little doing to it. With tax and MOT still current you could pop it on classic insurance (£130 a year fully comp for me) and drive away!
Any questions please ask.
