This classic car is for sale on Catawiki. To have more information or to place a bid click on the "BID NOW" button. .This Golf GTI Mk1 is the 1980 model and is completely original; it has never been elaborated. It's the 1600 cc 5-speed transmission version.

It was sold new in 1980 in Venice and since 2001 it has been standing still in the garage suspended from circulation, as the documents report. The km are probably original.

The external and internal colour, the engine and gearbox are original (matching number) as they came out of the factory. The Volkswagen certificate confirming the birth colour L041 (Black) and the interior black and gray is present.

In March, many works, documented with photos and invoices, were performed including:

- restoration of door panels, rear shelf, interior, new stickers and body parts, engine compartment insulation;
- restoration of petrol lines and power circuit, new pump and filters;
- new Pirelli tyres;
- completely new exhaust.

The car is running and the engine compression test delivered very good results (see pictures). The structure of the car is solid and still features the original sheet metal. It has never suffered any accidents; the original factory mastic and the original underbody and wheel arch colour are still present on the vehicle (see pictures on the bridge).
The body was newly repainted on the outside a few years ago and still looks very nice. It was evaluated with feeler gauge (see pictures) that delivered very good results.

The manufacturing detail sticker is present in the trunk compartment and also in the use and maintenance manual.

These Golf MK1s are now a true collector's item and it is increasingly difficult to find raw original specimens.

The Volkswagen Museum has also issued the technical features certificate
to facilitate a new registration (see pictures).

Please note: electrical system to be checked in some areas.
