1982 Volkswagen Golf GLS Cabriolet

The original Golf Mk.1 was a front-wheel drive, front-engined replacement for the air cooled rear-engined, rear-wheel driven Volkswagen Beetle. Historically, the Golf is Volkswagen's best-selling model and the world's second best-selling model, with more than 29 million built by 2012.

Most production of the Golf was initially in the 3-door hatchback style with other 5-door hatchback and cabriolet versions added. The VW Golf has won many awards throughout its illustrious history including winning the European Car Of The Year Award on two occasions in 1992 and 2013. The particular vehicle offered today is a 1982 model, in Red with black patterned cloth interior. Powered by its 4 cylinder fuel injected 8 valve 1760cc petrol engine coupled to a 5-speed manual gearbox it has covered fewer than 80,000 miles from new. The subject of a thorough complete nut and bolt restoration conducted in-house at the Molino Collection under the watchful eye of the curator of the collection with assistance from his two sons, the result is a superior example of the marque in mechanically excellent condition, benefitting from a complete repaint to as new condition.

GPP 585Y, starts on the button with all features working and drives extremely well whilst providing the opportunity for top-down motoring. Not to be overlooked.
