Description
An exceptional, early Type 19 8v K-Jet Golf GTI finished in Alpine White. Retaining its factory-correct specification, this vehicle features its original dealer-fitted BBS body kit and matching 14-inch BBS alloy wheels, along with original green-tint glass with the registration etched on all panes. Having covered 131,140 miles (will go up slightly as driven on dry days) with just 4 owners from new, it has been meticulously maintained and kept garaged throughout my ownership. Registered as a Historic Vehicle, making it fully MOT and tax exempt, as well as being ULEZ compliant.
History & Provenance:
Accompanied by an extensive, two-folder history file tracking the car across its 41 years. Includes the original 1985 Sales Invoice from Michael Moore Quattro Centre, its first MOT certificate, and an Official VW Classic Birth Certificate procured in 2024. The car also has an agreed insurance valuation in place.
Transparency: The car carries a historic Category C marker from August 2009 due to localised damage on the nearside rear corner and rear bumper. It is VOSA certified and has been reliably MOTed every year until its last MOT in August 2025.
Mechanical & Maintenance:
The K-Jet engine runs beautifully and without fault, complemented by braided fuel lines, a stainless steel intake pipe, and a custom manifold-back exhaust system by Zero Exhausts Ltd.

Condition & Viewing:
The Alpine White paintwork retains a sharp, glossy finish with good bodywork, genuine badges, period-correct dealer plates, rear window sticker, and tax disc holder. Fitted with a functional period Cobra immobiliser (2 fobs), original VW key, and keyring. The interior upholstery is in excellent condition. Shows honest, minor age-related wear expected of a 41-year-old vehicle.
