1988 Mk2 Golf GTI 16V GTi Engineering For Sale
Rare GTi Engineering engine conversion
3 door in rare Monza Blue Metallic (unique to the 16V)
First registered 01/ 08/ 1988
MOT until 31/ 03/ 2019 (MOT advisory work carried out new fuel pump, brake pads, etc)
170k miles though showing 131k miles due to speedometer change by previous owner (faulty odometer, I have pics showing old and new at the change)
2 previous owners on V5 but I know more than this due to a previous owner registering it in Ireland
ENGINE & TRANSMISSION
16V Plus Pac engine conversion by the legendary GTi Engineering who were the only company VW allowed to do so without invalidating the warranty. The conversion boosts power to 155 bhp and torque to 130 lbs/ ft. The conversion comprises gasflowed ports and valve throats, gasflowed inlet and exhaust manifolds, polished valves, narrowed valve seats, selected valve springs, modified cam and ignition timing. The engine has recently been serviced including new timing be!t and tensioner, new oil pump, new sump gasket, new fuel filter, new Bosch fuel pump, new in tank fuel pump, new ignition leads, distributor cap and rotor arm. The engine starts first time from hot and cold, pulls freely and revs sweetly. Anyone who knows this engine knows they get quicker with age and this one really flies. There are no crunches in any gear and selection is positive. No dump valve to impress your girlfriend/ boyfriend is fitted. You will have to make the noise yourself.
CHASSIS & BRAKES
The car sits on adjustable FK coilovers which make the ride firm with good turn in but not stupidly low. This is not a car for kids with airride and thump thump music. It is a refined hot hatch classic. I have fitted new front brake pads as per MOT advisory and the rear brake discs, pads and wheel bearings have recently been done along with overhauling the calipers. Wheels are the 15" RH Aero-techs as fitted by GTi Engineering and are in great condition. Matching Pirellis are fitted with plenty of tread.
BODYWORK
The body and paint are in fine fettle with no rust in the usual spots. The factory sunroof slides cleanly and there is no rust in the tray. The car has previously been painted on one side I understand from speaking to previous owners but this has been done well. A period Kamei rear spoiler was fitted by GTi Engineering. The car has the original GTi Engineering decals on bonnet and rear. The original VW dealer plates are fitted. The engine bay is extremely clean and there is no rust on the front cross member.
INTERIOR & ELECTRICS
The seats and carpets have no rips, holes or burns. The seats are still firm. There is no sagging to the headliner. The driver seat has a hinge cover missing but these are easily available if I don't get the chance to fit one. A 4 spoke leather GTi Engineering steering wheel is fitted and in nice condition. The original GTi Engineering carpet mats are present but worn. The MFA all works with no LCD bleeding except the MPG reading does not work but I suspect the vacuum pipe is not connected at the back during a replacement heater matrix fitting by a previous owner. I recently fitted a new window mechanism and motor. There are no holes in the rear parcel shelf. The original rare keys are present and yes the key torch works. One key fits all locks.
OVERALL
Nice original Mk2 16Vs are hard to find. Small bumper Monza Blues are even harder to find and the most sought after colour. GTi Engineering cars that have not been ruined by kids with their backside hanging out of their jeans are like hens teeth. This combination makes this a highly desirable example of one of the best hot hatches out there. A classic to be enjoyed, but also a great investment as Mk2s are rocketing in value at the moment being more usable than a MK1. This example will be well known by the afficienados and I have spoken to several of the previous owners who can vouch for the car, one of whom would like to buy it back if he had the room! Original keys number plates and handbook present along with some history. The car has won trophies in the past at VW Action where I first saw it many years ago and wanted it ever since and was lucky enough to have the chance to buy it. I am only selling as I have a couple of other projects on the go and don't have the space to keep it indoors. I have owned over 40 VWs in the past, mostly Mk1 and Mk2 Golfs.
