Rare Euro-Spec VW Golf GTI with 5-Speed Manual in Red over Grey Striped Cloth
This Euro-spec Volkswagen Golf GTI is finished in red over a grey-striped cloth interior and is powered by a 1.8-liter inline-four, 8-valve engine paired with a five-speed manual transmission. The car is a four-door example that has been restored and imported to the U.S. and is offered as a mechanically sound driver.
Highlights include its classic GTI presentation, the rare Euro-market specification, and a clean interior with period-correct striped cloth upholstery. A historical speedometer calibration issue is said to have caused the indicated mileage to be higher than actual. Condition and presentation suggest lower true usage.
With its restored cosmetics, solid mechanicals, and unmistakable GTI character, this rare Euro-spec example represents a unique opportunity to own a driver-ready piece of VW performance history
