1981 Volkswagen Golf GTI 20vt For Sale

Hi, here is my 1981 mk1 gti, this iconic hatchback has been updated with modern drivetrain, while keeping the standard look of the classic mk1 gti.

The car was fully restored about 5 years ago, no rust or rot whatsoever, all the usual areas are extremely good.

Car is a non sunroof model


The bodywork has the usual chips and age related marks on it, however there is a paint crack near the fuel filler cap, but isn't rust related, and hasn't got any worse in the time I've owned the car.


Interior is v good, as have sourced an original grey stripe interior and uncut parcel shelf, sadly it doesn't have a matching drivers seat, as I'm still trying to source one.

Headlining is in perfect condition


Just had a 1. 8t engine conversion,

AGU engine

New head gasket, cambelt, rebuilt head, rebuilt genuine ko3s turbo with better internals for more boost, stage 2 map, approx 200bhp

Gearbox is a mk3 gti 16v cable change, hydraulic clutch conversion

Full stainless 2. 5" exhaust system


Full ce1 wiring change


'G60' Passat winter steels with nearly new nankang 185/ 45 tyres

Suspension has fk coilovers, fully polybushed throughout


Please phone me on the details below

I'm open to near offers for a quick sale.


Please remember it is a 36 year old car, so it will not be like a new car, but it is an iconic hatchback with modern power.

Sold as seen.
