AI Listing Summary
This 1994 Volkswagen Mk3 Golf GTI, with only 55,459 miles and four previous keepers, is presented in Tornado Red with a black cloth interior. It features a 1,984cc 8-valve engine, 5-speed manual transmission, and comes with a reassuring history file, including MOT certificates and service stamps.

The car is described as being in overall solid condition with the bodywork presenting very well in its original Tornado Red finish, retaining a strong shine and consistent appearance. The interior remains clean, correct and true to its era. There is a minor point to note in that the lower right-hand black side skirt appears to have been repaired previously and would benefit from being refitted to a higher standard.
