Seller's comments about 1982' Volkswagen Golf

This lot will be auctioned via Iconic Auctioneers, The Classic Sale at Supercar Fest 2026 on Saturday the 16th of May, Sywell Aerodrome, Sywell, Northampton, NN6 0BN.Now regarded as the definitive 'hot hatch' benchmark, the Golf GTi created a whole new performance genre, offering sports car responses with hatchback practicality, and this smart 1982 Mk1 represents the model in its purest early formFinished in Black (Schwarz), PCU 780Y is one of the sought-after 1, 600cc cars, built shortly before the arrival of the later 1. 8-litre version, making it especially appealing to collectors of the first-generation GTiCurrent ownership since 2016 and showing just four former keepers, the car has been the subject of an extensive ground-up restoration by its engineer owner, with the body professionally refinished and the mechanicals comprehensively rebuiltPleasingly, originality has clearly been a guiding principle throughout, with original components retained and rejuvenated wherever possible, supported by a detailed history file containing numerous invoices for the all-important finishing detailsRemaining largely in standard trim, the only notable concession to modern use is a discreet Blaupunkt Bluetooth head unit, neatly integrated and entirely in keeping with the car’s period presentationWith the odometer indicating 57, 935 miles at the time of cataloguing, though now somewhat secondary to the quality of the restoration, this is a fine opportunity to acquire a beautifully presented early Mk1 GTi — the first chapter in what became a hot hatch dynasty
