This is an immaculate fully restored Golf mk1. This car benefits from being Left hand drive meaning far superior braking to RHD models, even without servo assistance.
visually the car looks like a time warp as it's free from modification so looks dealer new.

Video walkthrough of the car can be found here:

Pictures and video's honestly don't do it justice so if you're interested please get in touch for a viewing. I think this would make the perfect base for a project or preserved classic.

I struggled to value this car so the price indicated above is what I think is reasonable considering that this isn't a GTI and the fact that it would cost more than this to get a car to this standard, gti or not.

Historic Restoration work has included:


Chassis:
Full bodywork restoration with respray, Inside, out and underneath and engine bay in LIDO Green
New fuel filler neck, fuel lines brake lines
Refurbished brakes and hubs
new suspension and bushes 
Refurbished original steel wheels
Interior
New carpets and head lining
Re-trimmed seats
Re-trimmed door cards
Engine bay
Restored Factory 1.3
Recent additional restoration work undertaken whilst in my ownership:
Brand new Webber replacement carburettor with Manual Choke
Powder coating of various engine bay components.
History:
To the best of my knowledge, this car was originally restored in Bosnia and imported by a friend in 2018. He was therefore the first UK registered owner, me being the second. Number of owners up to this point unknown. The car does not have very much documented history but I have purchased original 1981 dealership brochures which will be included with the sale along with various invoices for the work I've done.

Please get in touch if you have any more questions or would like to view. I'm available during the days or evenings.

Happy for text or watsapp but way prefer a call  so please don't be scared……..give me a call for a chat :-)
