Offered here is a lovely 1987 Mk1 Golf GTi Cabriolet showing just 56,062 miles from its first registration on 17th December 1987. In the last 34 years, this sought-after convertible has had only four owners and covered an average of 1,650 miles per year. It's finished in a classic 80s colour combination with Arctic White paintwork, white sports cloth seats, white hood, colour coded bumpers and colour matching alloy wheel centres.

It's accompanied by its original Volkswagen Golf Cabriolet book-pack which contains the original service book stamped up-to-date, and supplied with spare keys and the locking wheel nut key. It had a major service including belts and fluids on 24 October 2021 and was fitted with new, premium-brand, tyres at the same time. The MOT is valid until August 2022.  Presented in mostly original condition and described as 'on-the-button' mechanically, this 'time-warp' example would benefit from further detailing and as such presents a great opportunity to enhance its value particularly as it's offered 'without reserve'.

Whilst many motorists today appreciate the exhilaration of roof-down ‘wind-in-your-hair' motoring, few are willing to forego the comfort of a saloon car in order to enjoy it, however, the GTi Cab makes any such sacrifice unnecessary being designed and built by one of the world's most experienced builders of open-touring cars - Karmann of Osnabrück. With the hood up these little four-seat convertibles are remarkably draught free, lower the hood and you are able to take advantage of every moment of sunshine which the British summer can muster.
