1990 VOLKSWAGEN GOLF (MK2) GTI 8V - 23,886 MILES

This 1990 Volkswagen Golf GTI is a beautifully preserved five door example of the Mk2 generation, presented in superb condition and with exceptionally low mileage. It’s 1.8-litre naturally aspirated inline four-cylinder engine produces 110bhp, which is sent to the front wheels through a five-speed manual gearbox. The odometer currently indicates 23,600 miles from new.

First registered in April 1990, the Mk2 GTI has been in the vendor’s possession for two years, with 3+ keepers enjoying the vehicle before them. Over its 30-year life, the car has covered a very short distance, averaging only 787 miles per year, and has been comprehensively maintained.

The Calypso Green paintwork on the exterior is in excellent condition and is believed to be entirely original. The black plastic trim on the front bumper appears to have one or two very minor, light marks on close inspection, but the vehicle is presented immaculately overall, complete with red detailing around the headlights and the iconic GTI badge on the driver’s door trim. The 14-inch wheels also remain in near untouched condition, with only a very light scratch visible on the nearside front.

Inside, the black interior complete with original unmistakably Volkswagen tartan seats and traditional Golf gear knob present as new, with no evidence of damage or discolouration to the fabrics or plastics. The driver reports all the interior controls and electrics work as they should, with no warning lights present on the dashboard.

The owner reports the last service took place in September 2016 at 22,767 miles, where the engine oil and air, fuel and oil filters were changed by Caffyns Volkswagen in Eastbourne. Prior to this, the vehicle received similar treatment at NBA Sports Cars in Dunsfold, made famous due to being situated next to the Top Gear track in Dunsfold Park Aerodrome, which took place in 2011 and 2014. The vehicle has also received a new battery during the vendor’s ownership.

The most recent MOT test was on 30 November 2019, which resulted in a clean pass. The MOT history notes that the mileage decreased from 20,507 to 20,308 between the 2007 and 2008 tests, though this is assumed to be an error. The driver notes the Continental ContiEcoContact3 tyres are near new and appear to be in a very healthy state all round.

The vehicle comes with the original Volkswagen handbook, stamped service book and original toolkit.

This 1990 Volkswagen Golf Mk2 is a very well preserved example of a classic hot hatch, with characterful 90s boxy styling, exceptionally low mileage and an entirely original, pristine interior. The vehicle has been comprehensively maintained by enthusiast owners and would be equally ready to continue its preservation or serve as an eye-catching all-rounder.
