1988 Mk1 golf 1.8 GTI karmann christmas convertible For Sale

Perfect for restoration this C reg mk1 1. 8 karmann Christmas cabriolet. It was owned by the previous owner for the past 15 years who unfortunately passed away last year leaving her pride and joy on the drive way. We have always had the intention of restoring this absolute gem of a car but we just can't vision any of us enjoying the car as much as she did.

The car its self currently has been sat on the driveway off the road for over a year now with it being started and moved once a month also the occasional clean and roof open to reduce condensation, obviously it hasn't been driven properly for a long while so it may want a couple of new tyres and a bit of work to get everything running properly, just before it went off the road it had the engine replaced buy a garage who failed to service the car and allowed all the oil to dump which ruined the old engine, but that was replaced at the cost of £1800 to them, which means the engine should be sound for a long time yet, anyone who knows a lot about these car will know they do need maintenance to keep everything in good working order, it does have some rust on the wings and doors but don't let that put you off these are beautiful cars and would be a great base car for restoration!

We would only want to sell this car to someone who has the intention of restoring and enjoying this classic it has most of the original GTI parts such as the steering wheel, gear knob and front grill all are in good condition for their age, the car has had seat, steering and knob covers on for many years, the original seats and door cars as well as the inside roof liner and sun visors has the CC logos on, as usual the seats need some attention as they have the usual bolsters have worn down and will need redoing. The battery is knackered and at the moment is on trickle charge but it will need changing, but it can be started! Unfortunately the previous owner wasn't fond of keeping receipts but regular maintenance was done and services done every year before mot's there is service history in the book and it still has all of the original hand books and manuals it even has a copy of the first purchase order these can be seen in the photos
