Description
1995 Mk3 golf gti 2. 0 8v
Electronic green
Sitting at 58k miles
BBS split rim 16 inch alloys
Toyo tyres
Complete engine rebuild with honed block ( the reason for this when it is on such low miles is quite simply the engine is nearly 30 years old, & the car had been in storage since 2007 & gaskets, seals or anything made of rubber will perish when a car is sat that long.
the life expectancy of gaskets and seals is around 15 to 20 years on these engines, last thing i want to do is sell a car and have the head gasket going on the new owner in the next 12 months or so, as it is just a matter of time, so while the engine was apart may aswell have it like new.
I purchased this in 2021 & the work started in 2022

Nearly 9k spent recommissioning this golf gti to this condition,
Oil & oil filter will need to be changed after the 500 mile run in of the engine, i think iv done over 70 of miles so far,
Car is insured but i have not taxed it and it is registered in my name.
Hoping it gets a loving home where it is looked after & kept in this condition.
It did get a chip in the windscreen on its way to the mot station but that has now been repaired.
Only faults i can think of are the key does not work in the bootlock, but bootlock does work off the central locking, i have a new lock & key to go with it if it is something that would bother you.
I have the owners manuals and wallet, last owner lost the service history but i have started it again with a booklet from a different mk3, as everything has been replaced previous service history is irrelevant now anyway, this golf drives as it did when it was new & puts my other mk3s to shame, very nice on the road, gears are very tight and precise, engine runs beautiful, most of the work done was done by a vw restoration specialist including the engine rebuild, the rest by myself
