SOLD MK1 Golf GTI

[Vinda76]

82 model year (Sept 81 build date) 1.6 GTI, close ratio 5 speed with eager engine makes this a great driving combination. Originally delivered to Singapore and imported to Australia in 2006, she has never seen a salted road as all the UK delivered cars have. Matching numbers car with VW ‘birth certificate’ to authenticate the above. I have used the car as a daily at times during the 8 years I’ve looked after her with the focus on getting it reliable, she has never not got me home in 20,000 kms!

Looks in reasonable nick.
Don't know about that price, but they are getting hard to find.
Shame about the sunroof, otherwise I may have had a closer look and tried to low ball you.
Friend of mine has a hard on for one of these, will show it to him in the morning and see if he is interested.
GL with the sale

There's not many in Aus, even less unmolested.

What's wrong with sunroofs?
