Lot Ended
Description
From a deceased estate; current owner 22 years; for recommissioning
following 16 years in storage; under 98k miles and in pleasingly sound and
original condition throughout
First
registered in August 1984, this VW Golf GTi Mk2 8-valve has had five owners from
new and has been in the current ownership since 2001. On offer here from a
deceased estate, it was last MOT’d and on the road in 2007, being stored in a
nice dry garage and kept on SORN ever since.
It
is showing 97,800 miles on the clock, seven old MOTs showing that it had covered
90,233 miles by 1997. Various invoices show routine upkeep including a full
service, new timing belt and new brake discs/pads in September 2001 at c.90,800
miles. The car does not currently have a battery fitted and although we have
established that the engine turns, the mechanical condition is unknown –
hand-written notes on file and various spare relays in the glovebox suggest that
it may have (or have had) some electrical issues although this is by no means
certain.
It is on offer here as a
straightforward project at a modest guide price and, after such a long time in
storage, it will no doubt need some remedial works to get it back on the road.
On the plus side, the bodywork, paint and interior appear to be in very good
shape, as do the Pirelli P Slot alloys, and the whole car has a pleasing
air of originality.
