Finished in a striking bright blue, this highly modified pickup presents as a well executed and purposeful custom build based on the ever popular Volkswagen Golf Caddy platform. The bodywork appears clean and well presented, complemented by black multi spoke wheels, uprated suspension stance and a purposeful front end treatment. The rear load bed has been neatly finished and features a practical storage box, spare wheels and a roof rack assembly mounted behind the cab, giving the vehicle a distinctive motorsport inspired appearance.
Inside, the cabin remains largely in keeping with its original layout while incorporating a number of performance oriented upgrades. A Sparco steering wheel has been fitted, alongside additional gauges monitoring boost, oil pressure and temperature, reflecting the vehicle’s uprated mechanical specification. The interior presents in tidy order and maintains the simple, functional character typical of the model.
Under the bonnet the vehicle benefits from a freshly built turbocharged engine setup, with considerable expenditure reportedly invested in the build. The engine bay appears well detailed with upgraded components visible, including performance ignition hardware and ancillary upgrades. The vehicle also features a distinctive side exit exhaust arrangement, adding to its purposeful character. The vendor advises the vehicle has been extensively developed as a custom project, creating an exciting and distinctive performance pickup.
First introduced in the late 1970s, the Volkswagen Golf Caddy quickly developed a loyal following thanks to its combination of compact practicality and Volkswagen reliability. In more recent years these vehicles have become highly sought after within the custom and modified car scene, with well built examples commanding strong enthusiast interest.
