Description
There's something special about a Mk2 Golf. The clean lines, the simplicity, the feel behind the wheel - it's a car that defined an era and still turns heads today.
This example, finished in the iconic Stratos Blue, is a rare 4+E 5-door model, giving you all the usability of a family hatchback with the soul of a driver's car. The 4+E gearbox makes motorway miles easy, while still keeping the lively, mechanical character that made the Mk2 a legend.
I'm technically the second owner, though the logbook shows three. The lady I bought it from in 2022 had owned it since 1988, when it was first her company car. Instead of replacing it after the initial three years, she purchased it from the company and kept it ever since. I collected it from her in Edinburgh and drove it all the way back down to West Sussex without issue a trip that only confirmed just how capable these cars still are.
I was instantly sold on it because it reminded me of my mum's car, which I learned to drive in. That old-school smell of the interior just brings it all back. It's been off the road and stored in my garage simply because I have too many cars and don't drive this one enough but if you come to see it, you'll understand why I've held onto it.
The car will come with a fresh MOT before the sale, and prospective buyers are welcome to view it beforehand.
So many of these cars have been lost to time or modified beyond recognition - finding one that's still true to its roots, with such a clear history, is rare. Whether you're looking to relive the glory days, start your classic VW journey, or simply enjoy a car that makes you smile every time you drive it, this Mk2 deserves a good home.
