Big Bumper MK2
Once a common place sight on the roads of Europe and today arguably the most admired and coveted hot hatch of all time. The elusive big bumper final edition remains a car that many aspire to however finding the genuine article that is not spoiled is a difficult task. The sands of time have ensured that literally very few examples remain and of those few even fewer will present correctly.
This GTi is fantastic in out top and underside, and has bene the property of
that most recent owner for more than fourteen years. The temptation to meddle or stray too far from standard OEM spec has been largely resisted. This big bumper car is becoming a rarity now given the short 2-year production window it had.
G583 NFR
Affectionately known to me as Gennifer, this is not some glossy restored example hiding a multitude of sins, it’s been a well looked after and maintained example that has literally been lavished with car by the chap who has owned it since 2010. The mileage is 137, 000, though the speedo shows 98, 000 as a few years ago it was replaced.
First registered 02. 04. 1990, this is a non-power steering model, with manual windowsmirrors and sunroof, mudflap pack, and an electric aeriel. The alloys have been upgraded with genuine polished 16 " BBS splits that look fantastic, shod with matching Yokohama tyres. These rims and rubber alone cost thousands. An eyebrow spoiler has been fitted which is personal taste and easily removed, and aboard the cabin keen observers will note a period Alpine Hi-Fi and Wolfsburg gearknob and mirror toggels. Remote central locking.
The windows have also been subtly tinted. I have quite a few spares together with original parts as changed.
Condition
The paint is stunning, end of.
The seats show no signs of wear, its in beautiful unspoiled condition with bright paint, the model lending itself well to flat Black.
Equally, all the plastic trim is in first class shape, sits flush to the body with
factory fit. All paint glass and rubbers first class, engine bay & boot same.
Tyres are all as new, alloys lovely with tool to remove.
I cannot recall seeing a MK2 with such a preserved interior, dash, engine and boot. The many images will hopefully illustrate this.
The current test expires April 2025 with a brake pipe covered in grease and a anti roll bar bush the only advise items on this 35 year old classic.
On The Road
The car drives as well as it looks with a light clutch, positive smooth gear change and beautifully balanced steering. The engine revs freely and pulls well in each gear reminding you just how much fun can be had with cars from this era that beg to be driven and don’t have huge bhp.
It sits perfectly and rides with no clunks or knocks just a solid firm and well
absorbed drive. This is an all systems go car ready to be enjoyed when the mood and the weather allows. The car moves as one whole piece, perhaps even better than I remember reaffirming that subsequent generations have robbed the car of its dynamicfeel and driver enjoyment. If you want practicality, performance and strength in one affordable package, few cars will deliver like the Mk2 GTI and is easily the most practical and sensible everyday modern classic in its price range.
Accompanied by many keys and a thick paper file.Summary
We have carried out a major service, oil & filter, fuel filter, air filter, plugs,
new thermostat, new timing belt & roller, new rear shock absorbers and a new headlining
professionally fitted, all parts supplied by Heritage, this car is turnkey ready to
use though will need a dry space to store as is too nice for everyday use or to be left
outdoors.
Be assured this is a genuinely outstanding highly collectable rare model, have a look
about the various advertising platforms to source another such as this, and that
situation will only get bleaker. It is sure to be a continued appreciating asset as each
year these models in outstanding condition become more and more scarce. Prices are
already shifting even for tired cars, there is no comparable car to this in the market
place at present in this price range, and no substitute for originality and proper care.
Anyone serious about this car must view the many detailed images in the gallery to
observe the preserved state of the vehicle as a whole. It will be harder to look
cooler this summer!
