HISTORY
This Golf was a lease car from 1997 for 12 months, before the lady who had leased it decided to buy it from the company. She lovingly took care of this beautiful classic for over 26 years. The service history of this vehicle is very extensive. The majority of the services were carried out by Volkswagen.
The car comes with a folder full of history. It even has its original brochure from Volkswagen, along with the original VW booklets and service manual. Many thousands of pounds have been spent over the past 2 years to get it back to where it is now. Which is it's 1990's best.

This MK3 Golf GTi has never been off the road. It has always been MOT'd and serviced annually and cared for throughout its life.
This car could be a show car with a little more work from an MK3 enthusiast, and will no doubt be on the road for many more years to come.
NOTE: The car is used most days, so mileage will increase.
