Vehicle Details

AI Listing Summary

This 1990s VW Golf Mk. III Avantgarde convertible is a rare find with only two previous keepers and modest mileage. It's well-preserved and features desirable options like a leather interior, though it will require recommissioning after being stored since 2016.

Condition

7

The car has had only two former keepers and has been in single ownership since 2010. It has covered a modest 100,000 miles and was last MOT'd in 2016 with no advisories, though it has covered very few miles since then and will require recommissioning. The listing states it started readily and drove for photos, indicating it is mechanically sound but will need some work to be roadworthy again. The interior is leather, and the car is described as 'impressively well preserved', fitting the 'Very Good' category.

A thoroughly modern design, its high-strength two-door monocoque bodyshell featured an integral roll-over hoop, and driver’s and passenger’s airbags.

Protected from the elements by a six-layer quick-release hood, the four-seater cabin was suitably cosseting, while drivers had the advantage of both power-assisted steering (complete with an adjustable column) and ABS brakes.
