Description
A 1991 pristine example of Herbert Schäfer's redesigned Golf classic. Beautiful condition, low mileage (66, 500 miles/ 107019 kilometres). Three owners in its 33 year history. Sold new in Basel, Switzerland, April 1991. Sold privately (in Basel) to my sister in 1998 who liked it so much she brought it back to the UK in September 2000. I bought it from her in October 2002. This car (unique LHD and colour) has been looked after with great care ever since.
The vehicle comes with a valid MOT certificate (until June 2025), insured until December 2024. Road tax to March 2025.
The original service book will be provided, along with the most recent (V5c) logbook (September 2018), and past service records. A recent video health check (June 2024) is also available on request.
New Additions
Modern headlights fitted to suit motorway driving. The original headlights are available with this sale. A portable JVC CD player has been fitted (the base unit shown in the photos). A new battery was fitted in May 2024.
Minor damage
The bodywork and upholstery are intact as shown but it's worth pointing out some minor wear and tear. Small paint scratches on the passenger doors. These have been repainted but as this is a rare colour, there is a slight colour mismatch. Small rustspots (varying from 0. 5-2. 5cm) on a) the front windscreen (next to the windscreen wipers), b) the front windscreen side frame and c) the rear bumper header panel. The offside rear wheel arch was repaired in November 2018 after a garage scrape, (the damage is no longer visible). The (plastic) handbrake lever gaiter is broken at the rear tip. The plastic covers on three out of four door handles are discoloured (but fully functional). The car has three self-adhesive stickers on the rear hatch trim, (ASAG, SCO and the Italian flag). Please refer to the photos for details.
Gloss colour finish
This Golf is painted in Capri Green metallic (Volkswagen LA6U). This colour was only available between 1991 and 1992 and as a result is a rare find. A shining example of a Volkswagen modern classic. This car has been in my family for the last 26 years. Housed in the garage when not in use, she's a solid proposition. Please note the left-hand drive.
A similar model featured in the famous 50th anniversary YourWagen video (1974-2024). One of three WeddingWagens (48 seconds in) on - details above.
Nothing more to add. It's a great car, runs well in good condition with excellent bodywork. Only cash offers considered.
