For Sale - 1987 Golf GTI 16v

[Negative Creep]

I've just moved house and don't have the space for 3 cars, so this one needs to go asap. It's a mk.2 GTI 16v 3dr in Tornado Red which I bought in January and has covered 141,000 miles. The good points:

 

New MOT

Tax until end of September

Big folder of history

 

New parts: Timing belt and tensioners

Water pump

Battery

Front and rear discs

Front and rear pads

Handbrake cables x2

Oil, filter, plugs and leads

Oil pressure switch

Antifreeze

Exhaust mounts

 

The car has some speedline alloys and an aftermarket steering wheel, but that aside is completely standard - no daft mods of boy racer abuse. It has electric windows, central locking, MFA computer and a factory fit sunroof. It doesn't have power steering, but I've always preferred it that way. It also has rather rare headlamp washers, but one was leaking so they have been disconnected. Underneath is solid and needed only a tiny patch of welding for the MOT. The interior is in very good condition with no rips or tears, no stereo but the original ISO plugs are still there. There are however some bad points:

 

Speedo cable broken

Few bits of surface rust and a couple of minor scuffs

Gearbox a bit stiff in 1st and 2nd and whines a bit (but doesn't crunch.)

Engine a bit smokey (not bad for 140K though and still pulls very well)

Needs a new cold start valve (rough starting from cold, fine as soon as it begins to warm up)

Minor damage to the NS splitter and front valance

 

It can be used as a daily driver, a small project or perhaps ripe for an engine swap. Sorry no swap or part ex

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

After £1000 ono

THAT is gorgeous and wouldn't take much to sort. Best car I have ever owned a Mk 2 GTi - reliable, quick, good looking - far to good to be classed as shite - best of luck with the sale

would go great with my mars red scirocco and polo combo

I put this up on 5 forums and this is the only one where I've had a single reply - I swear my Retro Rides topics are ignored on purpose. I need it gone, just make me an offer before I resort to retard bay to try and sell it

RNH - Milton Keynes number so was probably a VAG motor when new.

It's almost as if the larger a forum becomes, the more topics are overlooked

Is it on Edition 38? If not could be worth it, might not be cool enough for most members but you never know..
