Summary

For sale is a 1983 VW Golf 1 GTI, one of the most iconic models of the early hot hatch era. The Golf GTI was Volkswagen’s first factory-tuned sports car designed for everyday use and has become a true classic since its debut in 1975.

This example was delivered in Germany and has had a total of four owners. A comprehensive restoration included, among other things, a new paint job, a refurbishment of the interior, and work on the underbody. The sport seats in the classic GTI tartan pattern and the renewed headliner are in very good condition.

The Golf is powered by a 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine with 112 hp, mated to a 5-speed manual transmission. A Sprint sports exhaust system adds a sporty sound. With its weight advantage, direct throttle response, and compact dimensions, the Golf 1 GTI offers a particularly intense driving experience.

An existing Dekra appraisal report with a grade of 2 underscores the car’s well-maintained overall condition. Thanks to the extensive investments and work performed, this GTI serves as a solid foundation for enthusiasts and collectors seeking one of the most significant models in GTI history.
