Description:

My pride and joy Mk1 Golf C has to be sold :-(

I have owned this beautiful car since 2005. It was custom built in 2005/2006 to my specification including a G60 turbo engine conversion and a full VAG respray in Skoda Magic Black.

In its current configuration, the car is running with just the front 2 seats which are GTI variants. The sides and bolsters are covered in black leather  with the seat and back being covered in GTI weave (genuine Volkswagen green/black/grey stripe). I have the rear seat and all fixings and this will come with the car. In addition, I have a new aftermarket parcel shelf and 2 brand new genuine VW parcel shelf supports. Just need the rear seatbelts.

Current specification of the car is:

15" OZ superturismo wheels with 195/45/15 Toyo Proxes 4.

Wilwood 4 pot brakes on front, standard drums on rear.

Battery re-located to boot.

G60 turbo engine mated to an IHI turbo with a large custom made intercooler, Bailey dump valve.

In 2017/18 I had some major works on the car including:

New AP racing coilovers and top mounts fitted.
Emerald ECU fitted.
Mocal 13 row oil cooler fitted.

Fully rebuilt G60 engine carried out by John Mitchell Racing:

83mm bore JMR ported cylinder head.
Wossner pistons
All new belts
New oil pump and water pump

The car has been mapped and tuned on a rolling road producing around 216 bhp.

With the above modifications (for which i spent in the region of £7000.00) the car goes really well and not much on the road will keep up with her acceleration wise.

In 2011 the car suffered some accident damage to include front panel, O/S/F wing and bonnet. All repairs were carried out by a Volkswagen dealer using genuine VW parts. Due to this the car is recorded as Cat C. Insurance is not a problem and I pay just £360 fully comp with a £10000 agreed value policy.

She looks beautiful when washed and every time I go out in her I get thumbs up and nice remarks.

Mechanically the car is spot on. Engine, drivetrain, suspension are all virtually new or rebuilt and I have receipts available . The car has a full Jetex stainless steel exhaust system.

For a 35 year old car the chassis is in wonderful condition, However both rear arches are bubbling and need attention and the N/S/F wing also needs attention (see photos).

In the right hands this car will be a show stopper. Not much is needed to bring her back to her full glory. Unfortunately I just haven't got the skills or time required for keeping this wonderful car and all work i have to get a garage to carry out repairs etc.

Serious bidders only please. Any inspection welcome, but no test pilots please. This car is sold as seen with no warranty offered or implied.

Would love it to go to an enthusiast who can take care of her……. IMG_3485~photo.jpg IMG_3483~photo.jpg
