Description
French title Chassis n° WVWZZZ17ZCW671918 - Just three owners from new - Superb overall condition - Transparent and well-documented history It is incredibly rare to find a GTi 16s Oettinger today in good condition having had a quiet life, as so many have been used and abused by young - and not so young - would-be racing drivers. The example presented is in absolutely remarkable condition. It has had just three French owners. Exceptionally, present in the file are the original order and purchase invoice, the provisional registration document and the period homologation certificate ! The second owner who kept the car for over 30 years was a close friend of the first. This Golf 16s Oettinger was vandalised during an attempted theft in 1988 when it had covered around 95 000 km. An invoice in the file tells us that the car was completely restored, for the cost of nearly 60 000 francs. The dashboard was changed and the odometer returned to zero at this time. " Magic ", the cylinder head was also one of the weak points of this outstanding GTI. In 1991, this car was fitted with a new Oettinger cylinder head (at approximately 108 000 km). With just over 58 700 km on the clock today, the car has therefore covered just over 153 700 km from new. The interior is in superb original condition and the bodywork is painted a stunning black, its original colour. With limited owners and an incredibly well-documented history, this rare Oettinger version is ready to please a discerning Youngtimer enthusiast.
