Launched in 1974. the Golf represented a complete break with
Volkswagen tradition yet it would prove as big a sales success as
its Beetle predecessor. In GTi form the Golf has become one of the
great icons of modern motoring. giving rise to an entirely new
class of sporting saloon - the 'hot hatch' - in the process. First
seen at the Frankfurt Show in September 1975. the GTi came with a
1. 6-litre. fuel-injected. 110bhp engine which. in a car weighing a
mere 1. 61lbs made for a performance package of a type not seen
since the demise of the Mini Cooper 1275S.

Presented in gleaming white coachwork with contrasting original
cloth interior this completely restored Mk. I GTi is as good an
example as you would have found when this iconic sports car rolled
off the production line in 1982. The current owner of this vehicle
has left no stone unturned in maintain the originality including
running an internet blog throughout its work offering opinions and
help from fellow VW enthusiasts. The engine was transplanted from
another GTi and compression ratings on the engine has been checked
along with a rolling road test to ensure that mechanically it is of
the standard offered by the rest of the restoration. every
auxiliary item accompanying the engine has been either re-furbished
or replaced with the only modern upgrade offered being the braided
fuel lines to help the performance and reliability.

This is without doubt a fantastic opportunity to reminisce in that
80's sports car era with an example that will knock spots off many
others on the market. offered at such an attractive estimate with
an MoT test certificate valid until August 2015 we will all be
struggling to keep our hands in our pockets come August the
30th!

Interested parties should note that at the time the
photographs were taken the car shown was 90% completed and new
photos of the completed restoration will be updated
shortly.
