About this 1983 Volkswagen Golf GTI

VIN: WVWZZZ17ZDW254998

Golf Mk1 GTI 1.8 (February 1983), strictly original and never restored, with sunroof and tinted windows. Imported from Italy by us 20 years ago and kept off the road for 20 years in a private collection. Recommissioned this month with a new timing belt; engine, gearbox, clutch and brakes in good working order. Original bodywork, no corrosion; original paint shows age-related wear (small dings and stone chips). To do: auxiliary driving lights not working and very old tyres to replace. A rare opportunity to buy an authentic, unmolested GTI in a desirable specification.

********************************************************

Golf I GTI 1.8 de février 1983, strictement d’origine et jamais restaurée, équipée d’un toit ouvrant et de vitres teintées. Importée d’Italie par nos soins il y a vingt ans, elle est restée 20 ans à l’arrêt au sein d’une collection privée avant d’être réveillée ce mois-ci : remise en route soignée avec courroie de distribution neuve ; moteur, boîte, embrayage et freins en bonne santé. Carrosserie d’origine, sans corrosion, et peinture d’origine présentant des traces d’usage conformes à l’âge (petits coups et éclats de gravillons). Points à prévoir : phares longue portée non fonctionnels et pneus très anciens à remplacer. Rare opportunité d’acquérir une GTI en belle configuration, authentique, prête à être appréciée telle quelle ou à parfaire selon vos souhaits.

********************************************************

Golf I GTI 1.8 (februari 1983), strikt origineel en nooit gerestaureerd, met schuifdak en getinte ruiten. Door ons 20 jaar geleden uit Italië ingevoerd en vervolgens 20 jaar stilgestaan in een privécollectie. Deze maand opnieuw rijklaar gemaakt met een nieuwe distributieriem; motor, versnellingsbak, koppeling en remmen in goede staat. Originele carrosserie, zonder roest; originele lak met gebruikssporen passend bij de leeftijd (kleine deukjes en steenslag). Te voorzien: grootlichten/verstralers werken niet en zeer oude banden te vervangen. Zeldzame kans op een authentieke GTI in een gezochte configuratie.
