Volkswagen Golf 1,8 Cabriolet MK1 — 1985

• Mechanical condition

  The car starts easily, and the fuel injection system works without issue. The car likely retains nearly the same characteristics and performance as it had when new. The gearbox and suspension are in good condition, and the car drives very nicely on the road. The brakes function properly, and the alternator has recently been rebuilt.
  The so-called trip computer installed in the car has limited functionality. The fuel and temperature gauges work, but their readings are not entirely precise.

• Interior condition

  The car features fine original grey cloth seats throughout. There is a small area of wear by the driver’s seat entry point — see photo. Judging by the condition, the car was likely fitted with protective seat covers for many years. The dashboard is also in very good condition.
  
  The steering wheel has been replaced with a sportier version, but the original steering wheel is included and is also in good condition. The soft top is original and in exceptionally fine shape. It was designed for year-round use and is therefore of a robust construction.
  
  The black textile carpeting is in good condition but would benefit from some freshening up to look its best. Seat belts are fitted for four passengers. The spare wheel and original tool kit are still present — see photo. The car does not come with a spare key.

• Exterior condition

  The original paint color presents very well, and there are no visible signs of previous damage, except that the right rear fender may have been repainted in the correct shade a long time ago. The door gaps, as well as the hood and trunk lid, are free from defects. The grille has a small blemish — see photo.
  The exterior of the soft top is intact and clean. The bumpers are undamaged but could benefit from some detailing and reconditioning to return to their very best appearance.

• General condition

  The car is in very good condition.

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.
