Equipment

Pirelli alloy wheels, Falken tires, 5-speed.

Condition

Restored in 2016-17 by a Golf specialist to a total cost of about Euros 30,000. Showing 1,740 km but that isn't represented as actual. Very good recent repaint that looks factory. Lightly scratched rear glass. Like new interior. Redone underneath with new suspension, fasteners and exhaust. Fully restored to essentially new condition, and has to be one of only a few early GTIs to have gotten such a lavish treatment.

Market commentary

The original Golf GTI essentially started the hot hatch segment, so it's only natural that clean ones become collectible cars. And since they were usable, fun to drive quickly and cheap to buy for many years, there aren't many clean ones still around. Converted to dollars, this one sold for around what a brand-new GTI costs.
