SUMMARY
A very well presented, automatic gearbox, low-mileage, open-top city car ready for the rest of summer.
DESCRIPTION
- All Mk1 Golf Cabriolets from 1988 onwards were fitted with a ‘Clipper’ bodykit, comprising body-coloured bumpers, flared wheel arches and side skirts
- Using the same 1,781cc engine as the GTi, although fitted with a single carburettor, the 90bhp Clipper was considerably cheaper and equally stylish
- This example was purchased in 1989 from Scotts of Sloane Square, a VW dealership famous for providing many a 'Sloane Ranger' with a new Golf
- It has covered just 34,811 miles and has been in current ownership since 2022 spending some time in Jersey (J151080)
- Attractively presented in Helios Blue over a grey carpeted interior with grey-toned tartan upholstery seats wrapping around to the door cards
- It still wears the original dealer plates and tax disc holder and is supplied with its original dealer book packs, stamped service book, previous MOTs and invoices, tonneau cover and two keys
- This Mk1 Volkswagen Golf is a smart open-top city car, with the ‘Clipper’ bodykit presenting in generally excellent condition and would now make a fun addition to any household, just in time for the rest of the summer
