Kickdown's Take
by Louis KalendruschatThe Golf 1 Cabriolet has long been a sought-after classic. The Golf offered here is still in its first ownership, which is particularly rare! It also has only about 87,000 kilometers on the odometer and has never been repainted. It underwent a recent service at the end of 2025, so the Golf is ready to hit the road for some open-air driving. A rare opportunity!

Questions and Comments
Technik: Gegenüber dem normalen Golf I ist das Gewicht allein der Rohbaukarosserie des Cabriolets um 90 kg erhöht, gegenüber dem Golf I GTI ist das GLI-Cabriolet insgesamt 140 kg schwerer. Im GLI-Cabriolet findet sich neben dem GTI-Motor (81 kW/110 PS, K-Jetronic) auch das sportlichere Fahrwerk mit strafferen Stoßdämpfern, etwas verbreiterten Reifen und ebenfalls leicht verbreiterten Kotflügelausschnitten. Im Vergleich zum VW Käfer Cabriolet wurde die Karosserie-Durchbiegung um 10 % und die Verwindung um 40 % verringert. Das Dach besteht aus fünf Schichten: Unter dem äußeren Dachbezug gibt es eine Schicht Nesselmaterial, dann eine 20 mm dicke Polsterschicht aus Gummihaar, darunter nochmals Nesselmaterial und danach der Kunststoff-Dachhimmel. Der cW-Wert beträgt 0,48 mit geschlossenem Dach, 0,53 mit offenem Dach bei geschlossenen Fenstern und 0,55 bei offenem Dach und maximal geöffneten Fensterscheiben. LG Tom
