1984 | Volkswagen Golf Mk II Gti 1.8

Launched in 1974, the Golf represented a complete break with Volkswagen tradition yet it would prove as big a sales success as its Beetle predecessor. In GTi form, the Golf has become one of the great icons of modern motoring, giving rise to an entirely new class of sporting saloon - the 'hot hatch' - in the process. First seen at the Frankfurt Show in September 1975, the GTi came with a 1.6-litre, fuel-injected, 110bhp engine which, in a car weighing a mere 1,861lbs made for a performance package of a type not seen since the demise of the Mini Cooper 1275S.

This superb example of one of the original 'hot hatches' is presented in red with black/red cloth interior. Having had in the region of £30,000 spent on it, clearly this is a truly wonderful Golf GTi which is worthy of any collection. They were the envy of many at the time and with the Pirelli hub caps and squat looks, this hatch still looks great from any angle .Consigned by James Good
