VW Golf Mk 1 Cabriolet Rare Small Chrome Bumper with 1.8 engine (Future Classic)

VW Mk 1 Golf 1.8 Rare Early Small Chrome Bumper Soon To Be Classic (40 years old in 2 years)Here is a rare opportunity to buy this fantastic example of an early Mk1 Golf with small chrome bumpers.This Golf has been lovingly restored and maintained by the previous 2 owners who have spent a small fortune in upgrading and maintaining this future classic. This car has been featured in several car groups and instagram over the years. The engine was replaced by a previous owner around 9 years ago and no expense was spared, he also had several upgrades done at the time, including a full body respray. I have 2 folders full of receipts, MOTs, lots of details of the items that have been added, such as electric windows, sports springs and the single wiper mod.The last owner has poly bushed everything on the car and had new coilovers fitted a long with many engine upgrades. The interior was completely stripped out and rewired too. I have a catalogue of photos showing most of the work that has been undertaken, he estimated spending around £9-10k in the last 2 years. The car currently has 2 sets of alloys, and would be williing to negotiate on the price on including both sets or choose. The BBS alloys (5 in the set) 4 of have been refurbished and have brand new tyres fitted with a slighlty lower profile than the ones in the photo, so they look a little less chunky and sit nicer in the arches (I will update the photos). The speedline 5 spoke alloys (4 in the set) also have new tyres that have covered just a few hundred miles.The car starts beautifully and ticks over nicely with a great sound created by the twin Dellortos and sports exhaust, without being over the top.I will aim to list as much of the detail as possible:1983 Small Chrome Bumper modelUpgraded 1.8 engine (fitted approx 9 years ago by 2nd to last owner)Electric WindowsGTi Oil Pressure, Water Temp and Battery Gauges Electronic Fuel PumpSterling Engine ImmobiliserStainless Steel Sports ExhaustAdjustable Coilovers and sports spring (I had raised slightly to improve comfort and look with BBS Alloys)Adjustable Chrome StrutbraceTwin Dellorto 40's Carbs (Tuned to perfection) Set up on rollinig road (data included)Immaculate interior, seats are like new and carpets in fantastic condition too.Mohair Hood (like new)Tonneau coverOMEX Rev limiter with Launch control, protects engines from over revving, very smooth engine cut, launch control button reduces wheel spin on standing starts.Extensive Service history and receipts dating back to 2004 Chrome Rad and Oil radiator, engine bay dressed with blue hoses and braided pipesAll engine hoses replaced during recent service, including filler to tank flexible fuel hose.

Prices on these are creeping up and this really is a bit of a head turning one off, it is different without being lairy. Everywhere I have been, it gets lots of attention from all ages, I had a 80 year old telling me what a cool car it was, and have teenagers in awe at it. I purchased the vehicle as a gift for my daughter, but due to her age (17) we can't get insurance for her. My insurance is £79 per year!
