Big Bumper MK2
Once a common place sight on the roads of Europe and today
arguably the most admired and coveted hot hatch of all time. The
elusive big bumper final edition remains a car that many aspire
to however finding the genuine article that is not spoiled is a
difficult task. The sands of time have ensured that literally
very few examples remain and of those few even fewer will
present correctly.
This GTi is fantastic, the temptation to meddle or stray too far
from standard OEM spec has been largely resisted. This big
bumper car is becoming a rarity now given the short 2-year
production window it had.
G608 UYP
This is not some glossy restored example hiding a multitude of
sins, it’s been a well looked after and maintained example that
has literally been lavished with care by enthusiasts. The
mileage is 139,000, though the speedo shows 157,000 as it was
replaced in 2012.
First registered 17.01.1990, this is a non-power steering model,
with electric windows, manual mirrors and sunroof. The alloys
are genuine 15" BBS that look fantastic, shod with Uniroyal
Rainsport tyres. All appears to be factory standard and aboard
the cabin keen observers will note a GTi Anniversary gear knob.
Condition
The paint is stunning, minimal marks, view the video as it makes
up part of the description.
The seats show no minimal of wear, carpets are clean and the
driving controls are in good order, beautiful unspoiled
condition inside with bright paint, the model lending itself
well to metallic Black.
Equally, all the plastic trim is in first class shape, sits
flush to the body with factory fit. All paint glass and rubbers
first class, engine bay & boot same.
The tyres are all as new and the alloys are in good order, one
of them has some marks that may remove will the correct
products.
It's lovely to see a Mk2 with such a preserved interior, dash,
engine and boot. The many images will hopefully illustrate this.
On The Road
The car drives as well as it looks with a light clutch, positive
smooth gear change and beautifully balanced steering. The engine
revs freely and pulls well in each gear reminding you just how
much fun can be had with cars from this era that beg to be
driven and don’t have huge bhp. This is an all systems go car
ready to be enjoyed when the mood and the weather allows. The
car moves as one whole piece, perhaps even better than I
remember reaffirming that subsequent generations have robbed the
car of its dynamic feel and driver enjoyment. If you want
practicality, performance and strength in one affordable
package, few cars will deliver like the Mk2 GTI and is easily
the most practical and sensible everyday modern classic in its
price range.
Accompanied by many keys and a huge presentation file of history
with all the old MoT's, service receipts and invoices, the file
is 6cm thick.
Summary
This car is turnkey ready to use GTi though will need a dry
space to store as is too nice for everyday use or to be left
outdoors. The current test expires May 2027. Be assured this is
a genuinely outstanding highly collectable rare model, have a
look about the various advertising platforms to source another
such as this, and that situation will only get bleaker. It is
sure to be a continued appreciating asset as each year these
models in good condition become more and more scarce. Prices are
already shifting even for tired cars, there is no comparable car
to this in the market place at present in this price range, and
no substitute for originality and proper care.
Anyone serious about this car must view the many detailed images
in the gallery to observe the preserved state of the vehicle as
a whole. It will be harder to look cooler this Autumn.
