Description

Originally sold new in Sweden in 1980, this Golf GLS Cabriolet was the go-to car for the stylish set in the '80s—and today, it's a beloved youngtimer across all age groups. The current owner bought it over 16 years ago and has used it locally as a summer car, with a modest mileage of just 147,189 km.

About 10 years ago, it was repainted and received rust repairs, including work around the sills and front inner wings, with the underbody fully sealed. The car presents well, with a clean look and a nicely fitting, undamaged soft top.

The interior is complete, though the seat foam has deteriorated slightly, causing the fabric to feel loose—an easy fix. It's a charming, affordable cabriolet that’s tax-exempt and ready to drive home and enjoy this summer.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    Engine starts easily and runs fine, with smooth gear changes and stable road handling. Brakes feel solid, and the car is simple and enjoyable to drive. The engine bay is tidy, and maintenance is straightforward thanks to the carbureted setup—no complicated electronics or injection systems to worry about. Fitted with good alloy wheels showing only minor marks, plus a spare steel wheel in the boot and decent older tires.

  • Interior condition:

    Interior is complete and straightforward—no electronics here, everything is manual and easy to maintain. The seats, as mentioned, have some loose fabric and wear marks. The dashboard is complete with working gauges and instruments, while the carpets and door cards are in good condition. There’s a slight crack in the varnish on the wood trim, but nothing major. The cabriolet roof is in great shape, easy to open and close, with no damage—and it even comes with a matching roof cover.

  • Exterior condition:

    The car presents well with no dents, damage, or visible rust issues. The underbody is clean, showing signs of older welding and proper undersealing. The repaint was done to a good standard—perfectly acceptable for regular use, though not show-level—with some minor overspray and a few small marks and scratches, all in line with its age.

  • General condition:

    If you're looking for a reasonably priced and reliable cabriolet, this one ticks all the boxes. Simple, affordable, and easy to maintain—just hop in and enjoy top-down motoring all summer long.

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.
Important to know before placing your bids!
  • 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.
  • If you do not examine the item on the spot the call charge will be debited, but you do not have to complete the deal.
  • If you make the entire purchase exclusively at a distance you have 14 days to cancel, but must return the item at your own expense.
  • Your shipping costs and other costs are not reimbursed when the right of withdrawal is exercised. Swedish court applies.
