SUMMARY

An unrepeatable, emerging modern classic, freshly recommissioned, with just 15,967 miles from new and one former keeper.

DESCRIPTION

  • Since acquiring this rare AX GTi, it has undergone a light recommissioning 
  • The underside has been treated with a 2K polyurethane lining, the engine bay fully resprayed and the engine block finished in satin black with a powder-coated rocker cover
  • The factory body kit was refinished in PlasBak to return it to the original textures and colour
  • New water pump, cambelt and tensioner. Fully serviced with new plugs, new HT leads and new coil pack, filters replaced, and fresh Mobil 2000 10W-40 engine oil and Total 75W80 in the gearbox
  • Suspension components have been media blasted and powder-coated in satin black. New bearings installed including top mounts, new drop-links installed, brakes refurbished and replaced with new shoes in the rears and discs up front

Acquired a few years ago 1 previous owner with full-service history and only 15,897 miles on the clock. Since owning the car, it has gone under light restoration to preserve this little beauty, very few minor surface rust areas have been dealt with underside and engine bay. The underside has been treated with a 2k polyurethane lining to give it the best protection for future years. Engine and bulkhead carpet removed to give the full engine bay a respray. Engine received a fresh coat of satin black on the block and satin powder coated rocker cover. Body kit has been refinished in PlasBak to return keep the original textures and colour. Engine has had a new water pump, cambelt and tensioner fitted. Fully serviced with new plugs, new HT leads and new coil pack, filters replaced, and fresh Mobil 2000 10W-40 oil in the engine and Total 75W80 in the gearbox. Suspension components have been media blasted and powder coated in satin black. New bearings installed including top mounts, new drop links installed. Brakes refurbished and replaced with new shoes in the rears and discs up front and some new hoses also. New exhaust back box and centre pipe, also new rubbers hangers. All original interior and mint condition. Alloys refurbished and wrapped in Nankang NA-1 tyres. Must be one of the lowest milage GTi in the country, future classic for sure!
