Description

The car was delivered new by Rydbergs Motor in Kalmar to its first owner and has since been carefully cared for by the same family of owners throughout the years. The current owner was with his grandfather when they picked it up in March 1989. It has only had one actual user. The grandson has owned it since 2005, and it has only been used as a enthusiast car for a few miles since then. Since it is hardly used, only started up and driven warm a couple of times a year, combined with the current owner's lack of space, he believes it would be more enjoyable if another VW enthusiast could benefit from it. To date, it has only covered 13,800 guaranteed miles.

It has always been run on high-quality synthetic oil with frequent oil changes. Despite minimal usage over the past 18 years, engine and brake oil services have been performed every other year.

Facts about the model

Andra generationen av Volkswagen Golf (även känd som Typ 19E fram till modellåret 1991, och Typ 1G därefter) debuterade i Europa på bilmässan i Frankfurt i september 1983. Försäljningen började i hemlandet och de flesta andra vänsterstyrda marknader strax därefter. Den lanserades i mars 1984 på den högerstyrda brittiska marknaden och introducerades som en 1985 års modell i USA.

Denna generation hade en större kaross och erbjöd ett brett utbud av motoralternativ, inklusive en GTD turbodiesel på euromarknader, senare med 1,6 "umwelt" (ECO) dieselmotorn. Den hade även en DOHC 1781 cc (1,8) 16-ventilsversion av den rakfyrcylindriga motorn, känd som GTI, samt den välkända 1781 cc (1.8) 8v GTI. En kompressormatad 8v-version med beteckningen "G60" med fram- och fyrhjulsdrift fanns också tillgänglig.

Auction information

General information about the condition of the vehicles .
  • At this auction, many vehicles have been included in car collections and have been stored (mothballed) for a long time. For this reason, they are described from a collector's perspective and may need technical reviews and maintenance service - oil, battery replacement, new tires, brake review, etc. - before they can be used. .
  • During the auction days information about a vehicle may be updated up to the day before the auction ends. When you bid at the end of the auction period - and also if you have made an earlier bid - we therefore ask you to read the descriptions carefully, in case something has been changed due to new information.

  • Once you have called in an item and the reservation price is reached we want you to deposit the entire purchase amount into our client funds account before retrieval can take place.
  • When you need to retrieve a called in object we want you to examine it carefully. If you consider that the item does not match our description you do not need to complete the purchase. In this case the deposited purchase sum and the entry fee are refunded.
