LOW MILEAGE – ORIGINAL V. W. AUDI INVOICES BACK TO 1986
First registered: 05/ 06/ 1985
MOT: 18/ 01/ 2022
EQUIPMENT
Sunroof, trip computer, original boxed, Panasonic 563 LW/ MW/ FM radio cassette supplied, Pioneer Mosfet 50w x 4, WMA / MP3, USB, Aux input, C. D. player, AM/ F. M. radio, electric windows, power steering, lockable glove-box, adjustable door mirrors, fog lights, interior courtesy light, 5 speed manual, heated rear screen with wash/ wiper, rear seat belts, cigarette lighter, £349. 00p Autowatch security system fitted 20/ 06/ 2018 with central locking.
EXTERIOR
Iconic Mars Red, presents to an extremely high standard, having been treated with corrosion prevention by V. W. from new. Hot dipped in a wax solution at the time, this is still evident, and can clearly be seen in several areas and panel seams, especially around the engine bay. Certainly well worth the investment though, as this little Gti can prove. All panel gaps are extremely good, and following our micrometer test, the majority of paint work would appear original. Only exception being the front bonnet, which we have just refreshed, due to some very minor surface scratches, caused by a car cover, while being stored over winter, plus three minor stone-chips on leading edge, (Previous images available as confirmation). Supplying dealer and security window stickers have been left as proof of originality. Four headlamps, red bumper inserts and the GTi badging to front wings and boot set this model apart. Integrated roof gutters and flush fit glass also improved drag co-efficient and aerodynamics.
INTERIOR
Front and rear seats show little sign of wear, door cards remain un-marked, all plastics and switch gear operate as intended. Totally intact dashboard with no heat cracks, and the legendary “Golf Ball” gear selector. We are currently investigating the on-board information display system. Sunroof operates efficiently, the headlining has only recently been replaced, so is taught, with no sagging. It would appear that over-mats have effectively protected the original carpets, original radio supplied.
WHEELS AND TYRES
14”inch alloys are virtually un-marked, but for two or three small stone indents. Tyres are 185/ 60 R14 front and rear. Two new front tyres have just been fitted, 5 miles ago.
SERVICE HISTORY AND PROVENANCE
Supplied new by Newbourne Garages in May 1985 to a Mr G Dyson, the car would remain in original, single ownership until early 2017, when his nephew would assume title, at around 68, 500 miles. Having been well maintained during this period, with a cambelt change, service, replacement spark plugs, new H. T. leads, battery, plus gear bush kit, the Mk11 was not being used regularly, so was then sold to its third and final, senior owner.
We have great pleasure in bringing this wonderful motoring icon back to the market, having supplied to the Gti to the last private owner several years ago.
Complete with a full book pack, original service book and invoicing from new the file certainly makes for pleasing reading. With full main dealer history to 2006/ 07 and 51k miles the car has since been used sparingly over the last 10 years or so with the last full service carried out in 2020 at 72, 482 miles, to include new clutch cable. We are told the last owner had a new clutch fitted approx 69k miles, and more recently the rocker cover gasket has also been replaced, and full wheel alignment carried out.
Additional works include;
11/ 01/ 2021 – New O/ S/ F outer c. v. boot fitted
19/ 05/ 2020 - @ 72, 929 – New complete water pump, housing + all bolts, New timing belt, flush and supply new coolant.
06/ 06/ 2019 – Supply + fit new front brake discs + pads.
05/ 02/ 2019 - @ 70, 642 – Remove o/ s driveshaft, fit new inner oil seal
Consumables, such as wiper blades, battery, tyres, gear selector rods, thermostat kit etc, have all been replaced as and when required.
The service history file contains original V. W. Audi invoices, dating right back to May 1986 MOT certificates and two sets of keys.
It may be of interest to note, that this particular Gti Mk11 featured in episode 6 of the Cactus Productions television show “Modern wheels, or Classic steals”, which can still be accessed and viewed. It has also featured, quite extensively, in many publication and articles, such as Classic and Sports Car, the majority of which are available on-line.
THE DRIVE AND ENGINE
The legendary MK11 Golf Gti 8v, powered by the 1781cc four cylinder, fuel injected engine develops 110 bhp and 117 lbs-ft of torque, driving the front wheels, via a 5 speed manual transmission. Weighing just 936 kgs, 0-60mph is achieved in approx 8. 3 secs, with a claimed top speed of around 120mph. The Mk11 was in production from February 1984 to February 1992, making this quite an early example. Heating and ventilation have been greatly improved from outgoing MK1 model.
Performance is spirited and brisk, even by today’s standards, positive steering and with longer suspension travel, delivers a more refined ride, disc brakes all round are effective.
A rare opportunity to purchase a very good example of the, much sought after, 3 door, 8v Gti, with excellent provenance, low and considerate ownership, and attentive care regime from one, very long term owner, for majority of its life. Already attracting a vast amount of interest, even prior to marketing. Thoroughly recommended, while still available.
