Description

For sale on behalf of private client. 1990 Volkswagen Golf G60 Edition One LHD 3-Dr. One of only 2 cars available in the UK marketplace today, and only ever available in LHD, this gorgeous example was imported to the UK on 1998. It has been owned for the last 23 years by 1 fastidious keeper who carried out a full bodywork restoration using an Aston Martin time served painter at a cost of over 6000. Further, there are invoices for thousands of pounds for everything one could consider needing replaced - from bolts to braking systems, everything it has needed (and so much more besides) has been lavished on it. The result is the quite unique, original equipment vehicle presented in the photos. This example is finished in the understated Pearl Grey Metallic with the correct Edition One decals to the exterior, and Mauritius Blue Recaro Interior. Aside from a period leather steering wheel and unobtrusive stainless steel exhaust system, the car is as close to factory specification as any other for sale in Europe, which makes the ownership proposition so much more appealing to the genuine enthusiast buyer. This Edition One came with several special options: Big Bolster Electric Mauritius Blue Recaro Seats with matching blue plush carpets and door cards. Chromalux rear glass. Fully functioning factory Teves ABS system Bonded windscreen Wider wheel arch trims A fully stamped German service history book and extensive UK history pack shows a carefully maintained and respected vehicle. The long ownership period allowed the keeper to enjoy regular, spirited drives of the car (like any true enthusiast would want) but then most recently, the opportunity to restore the car to OE standard, creating an extremely usable show-class vehicle, which anyone would be proud to display. Priced to consider the next owners desire to add the correct BBS RM012 2 -piece split rims, finished to their own specification and the correct plush blue parcel shelf ( an un-cut, black factory one is provided). These 2 additions will complete the car and every pound spent doing so will be value added (not something other classic car owners can say!). A fresh 12 month MOT will be completed for the buyer and as you would expect, the car is HPI/Motorcheck clear. Any genuine inspection is always welcome although our viewings are strictly by appointment. Part exchange requests will be trade bids to buy your vehicle as we do not wish to get involved in retailing a 2nd car. Thank you
