Volkswagen Golf I Karmann Cabriolet 1.8 — 1990

• Mechanical condition

  Starts easily and the engine ran nicely. During a test drive through a residential suburb on small roads and a main thoroughfare, everything was found to work well in terms of steering, clutch, gearbox, road holding, and brakes. The soft top is very easy to operate, manually of course.
  On the lift, it looked good underneath in terms of vital components, and no remarks at inspections.

• Interior condition

  Fine and well-preserved original interior with nice seats and a rear seat offering good seating comfort, fine door panels and trim, and good carpets. Steering wheel, controls, dashboard, and gauges in matching condition. All electrics appear to work well. Period-correct cassette radio. The small trunk in the rear holds more than you might think and is in good original condition.

• Exterior condition

  Appears to be the original paint in good condition with normal wear for its age and mileage, with minor scratches and stone chips. There are hints of rust in a couple of spots along the lower edge of the windshield. Glass, trim, emblems, and lighting details in good condition. Nice wheels with slight wear and good tires. The soft top is tight and easy to operate. Nice convertible top boot. Engine bay in good condition.

• General condition

  It's not without reason that the Golf Series 1 enjoys a fine reputation and is now an enthusiast's car. The convertible version, which stayed in production all the way until 1993, was no exception. It's often said that a car is never as good as when it approaches the end of production, and since the open cars were kept on past their time, everything was well proven. Now that the model has passed the 40-year mark, these spirited cars must be counted as fine classics and enthusiast vehicles. For a relatively modest outlay, this is an entry-level car into both convertible ownership and the hobby. A perfect companion in the countryside, or as a first car for a new driver.

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.
