Volkswagen Golf GTI 1,6 — 1981

The Golf GTI—the car that became a trendsetter for a new generation of high-performance compact cars. The GTI was the top-of-the-line model in Volkswagen's new car class, designed to replace the long-lived Beetle, and its success was significant. A completely new car class was named after the Golf, both in everyday use and in racing. This GTI is in very fine and well-preserved condition, retaining all its early '80s charm and has never been used in racing.

The car is in very good condition and has undergone a thorough and professional renovation. The body is now completely rust-free. The engine and gearbox function flawlessly, and the car feels as lively today as it did in the 1980s.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    The lively engine runs smoothly and quietly, and the car starts easily. The gearbox and drive shafts are in good condition. The sunroof mechanism operates flawlessly. All electrical components and instruments are functioning properly. The brakes perform evenly and effectively.

  • Interior condition:

    The interior is in excellent condition, including the dashboard. The correct golf ball-shaped gear shift knob is, of course, still present. The headliner is intact and in good shape. The seats are slightly sun-faded, but a completely new textile upholstery is included for reupholstering. The driver's seat back has been replaced and comes from another GTI, so it has a different pattern. The carpets are intact and clean. The interior gives a great overall impression. The sunroof operates flawlessly.

  • Exterior condition:

    Professionally repainted in the original red color. The grille with the two auxiliary lights was an option and has likely been with the car from the start. The fine BBS wheels were also an extra option, and the original steel wheels are still available. The body is straight and in excellent condition with good fitment of the doors, hood, and trunk. The sunroof is sealed and fully functional. The emblems are intact both front and rear.

  • General condition:

    A very nice Golf GTI that can be used daily or showcased among the classics at car meets.

Owner's comment

We have two more that need to be restored, so unfortunately, this car must go to make room for the next one.

Facts about the model

The car has had a few owners but has likely never been driven on salted roads.

The Golf GTI was introduced in 1976 and became a major trendsetter and a model for many other car brands. Many of these cars unfortunately ended up as scrap after a hard life on and off the racetrack, but this car has been used much more carefully and is in very fine and well-preserved condition.

  • During the auction days information about a vehicle may be updated up to the day before the auction ends.
