1986 Volkswagen
Golf GTi 8v Type 19 97,000 Genuine Miles 1 Previous Keeper Original Ownership of 30yrs 31 Stamps & Huge History File inc' Original Order Form & More Chassis WVWZZZ19ZHW122532 Supplied by Ian Skelly Glasgow Ltd. To Mr Logan of Cambeltown On 19.09.1986 Once a common place sight on the roads of Europe and today arguably the most admired and coveted hot hatch of all. The sands of time have ensured that literally very few examples remain and of those few even fewer will present correctly. This early small bumper car is a rarity now. The big Bumper models are more plentiful and one can argue not as pure, the earlier Mk2 car retaining much of the clean cut Mk1 look, the later cars always look bloated in comparison, as such narrow bumper cars are now becoming more collectable. D73 EKS D73EKS is a very tidy Black 3dr GTI, the definitive hot hatch with just one previous owner from 1986 through to Valentine’s day in 2017 which is over 30 years! A complete package with everything from the original bill of sale, owners pack and a huge history file with no less than 31 service entries all presented in superb turn-key condition.

Additional Provenance Invoice from 1998 for the fitment of an Apollo 2002 immobiliser Hand written notes covering the following.. Correspondence from the first owner to Ian Skelly asking about a set of wire BBS alloys to be fitted pre-delivery. Notes referring to the pricing of the vehicle to include a radio cassette, alarm and wheels. Notes made by the first owner about warranty lengths and contact details, obviously a well-considered purchase which is evident due to the length of time Mr. Logan retained the GTI. The Drive It sits perfectly on it's standard suspension set-up, with no clunks or knocks either, just a solid firm and well absorbed ride. Having owned a few I can comment that all old engines drive differently. This one runs very well compared to all the other ones I have driven and would appear to retain all it's power and free revving zest that makes a GTi a GTi. It's all totally stock but is really well tuned and has lots of torque in any gear at any time. 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 it's 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. Cabin The cabin is clean and bone dry and has the feel of an unabused cared for interior with a good uncracked dash, headlining, door cards, chairs and carpets. Next to no wear at all to any switchgear, gear shifter etc, in reality these interiors were designed to take some punishment. A little wear to the driver seat lower bolster is the only point to note though seems to be pretty much a standard across all used Golf's of this vintage. Original VW rubber mats are present, all is in working order. Alloys/Tyres Matching Pirelli P6000 performance tyres all round with clean rims that are unmarked. The BBS crosswire alloys set the car apart, rarely seen now ad they have an appeal all of their own. Finished with the correct BBS centre caps.
