The Big End of Year Auction at Bolesworth Castle, Cheshire

 
  Lot 53
 

1989 Volkswagen Golf GTi
***NO RESERVE*** Period-correct hot hatch fitted with BBS alloys

Registration – F82 LGW

Chassis No. – WVWZZZ1GZKW072227

M.O.T. – April 2026

Odometer – 90,588

The vendor informs us that this smart four-door example presents well in its classic bright red finish and remains a very usable and honest car throughout. The bodywork appears tidy, the paint retaining a good shine with straight panels and correctly fitted trim. This example also benefits from a set of attractive BBS alloy wheels, which enhance its stance and are a popular period-correct upgrade. Inside, the cabin shows well for its age, with original GTi interior features still present and only light, expected wear to the seats, switchgear and carpets. The car starts readily and is said to run and drive as intended, benefitting from regular use rather than long periods in storage.

Under the bonnet the 1.8-litre engine presents in clean, usable order, with various hoses and consumables renewed over time. The vendor advises that the car has an MOT valid until April 2026, and the odometer displays 90,588 miles. The exterior plastics remain presentable, and the addition of the BBS wheels complements the car’s overall appearance, giving it a purposeful yet authentic look.

Introduced in the mid-1980s, the second-generation GTi evolved the formula of the iconic Mk1, bringing improved refinement, greater practicality and more composed handling while retaining the lively character that defined the badge. Today, the model enjoys strong enthusiast support, with clean, usable cars becoming increasingly difficult to source.

  • Fitted with BBS alloy wheels enhancing its period appeal

  • MOT valid until April 2026, showing 90,588 miles

  • Offered without reserve
