Basic information and History

A domestically sold Volkswagen Golf GTI Special from 1984 with approx. 216784km on the odometer. The car comes in an unrestored condition and thus brings plenty of patina with it. The car comes with a large amount of documentation, including information about each refueling occasion. The previous owner, an elderly gentleman, drove the car for 23 years and drove just under 2000 miles in that time.

  • Domestically sold 1984 Volkswagen Golf GTI Special
  • Same owner for 23 years
  • 1.8-litre, 112hp/150nm with 5-speed gearbox at 990kg

The first Golf GTI was released in 1976 and set the standard for what we today call a GTI car, or Hot Hatch in English. The recipe is a small, relatively cheap car with enough performance to impress friends. Before the Golf GTI was presented, other manufacturers tried the recipe, including the 1967 Simca 1100 Ti or the 1971 Autobianchi A112 Abarth, but without the same success as Volkswagen.

Equipment and Options

When designing the interior of the Golf GTI, it was important that it differ from the standard Golf. The responsibility for the work was assigned to Gunhild Liljequist. She contributed, among other things, the fun gear lever knob imitating a golf ball as well as the coveted checkered fabric on the sports seats. Otherwise, the Golf GTI came with, among other things:

  • Tachometer
  • Larger front spoiler
  • Sports seats with unique fabric
  • Anti-roll bars both front and rear
  • AM/FM stereo with cassette player


Condition

The bodywork has held up well over the years and is perceived to be in good working condition for its age. The paintwork has scratches and damage in places, including the tailgate which has been garage-repainted, minor bumps in places, stone chips and wear in the front, as well as various scratches and other marks. There are also various repairs, including under the windshield.

The interior of the car is in relatively good condition. The sports seats come with less wear. The driver's seat has damage to the fabric on the side supports, but the passenger seat looks fine. Back seat as well. The door sides are in a good condition. The instrument panel and controls have also managed well, especially since the instrument panel on cars that have been parked for a large part of their lives outside usually has a cracked instrument panel.

Engine and gearbox work as intended, however the clutch cable is binding according to the current owner. Lubrication may be enough for it to release. With 2,000 miles in 23 years, the car has always been used and has not stood still for any length of time. It has also been serviced regularly.

Feel free to look through our photos of the car to form an idea of the condition.

Service history
