Volkswagen Golf GTI Mk1

1981 Golf GTi - MkI

The happiest car on Dubai roads!

The original “hot hatchback”, and one of the most fun cars money can buy. When a car weighs next to nothing, the 110 horsepower from its 1.6 litre is plenty!

This example remained in single family ownership in Germany from new in 1981, until being sold to the current owner around 10 years ago when it was then exported to Dubai. Since coming here it has lived in air-conditioned storage and used sparingly.

The paint presents beautifully and the car performs very well, bringing many smiles per gallon.

This is certainly a Speedbird favourite and will hopefully find a good new home.
