Description:

1989 VW Golf Mk1 Cabrio GTI 1.8 16V in white
Manual 7 former owners
MOT May 2018
VW 1800 16V KR engine with Ashley 16v 4 Branch Manifold fitted in 2004 from a J reg Mk2. 139bhp
Mk2 master brake cylinder installed and rear drums replaced, stops very well.
Sebring 15” alloy wheels from a Volkswagen Corrado, with McGard locking wheel nuts.
Full late GTI/Clipper body kit fitted with Clear headlights and white grill.
Converted to an electric hood, but has no pump or hydraulic arms fitted.
White hood is a Car Hood Warehouse item fitted by them in 2005.
Heated rear window is glass not plastic and has a proper heating element.
No alarm 2 rear seats have 3 point seatbelts, professionally installed in 2013 (NS) and 2015 (OS).
Oval chrome rear view mirror Trimsport chrome strutbrace for 16v conversions, fitted in 2005
Sony bluetooth faceoff CD stereo

Has just been serviced and had new radiator, a metal coolant pipe refitted and split hose replaced.

Bodywork and wiring need some attention. I have been quoted £600 for all necessary spray work and £200 for wiring/electrics Interior in okay condition.
Seats need a clean and drivers seat has a couple of rips in it. This and other minor bits fixed would make interior very nice.

After owning this car for almost 7 years, we are very very sad to be selling it. It is so much fun, and it’s quick and drives very well, however we can no longer give it the time and attention, plus we now need a family car.

Would suit someone with some time and energy to put into it, and a good £1,000 worth of work and plenty of effort would really do this car justice and put it on a par with others selling for £2k+ more than this price.
