Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This is a rare, original and largely unmolested 1991 Volkswagen Caddy Sport, one of only an estimated 5 or 6 left in the UK. While it has undergone a partial restoration, some areas like the engine bay and interior require further attention to bring it to its full potential.
Condition
6
The car is described as having had a recent partial restoration, with welding, fabrication, and paintwork completed. However, the engine bay needs TLC and the interior could be tidier. This suggests moderate wear and the need for some reconditioning.

Mk1 Volkswagen Golf GTis are a rare sight these days, Mk1 Volkswagen Golf Caddys are even rarer, so just how rare does that make our VW Caddy Sport? Unicorn, holy grail, well maybe not that rare but you get the picture.
VW built the Caddy for about 10 years, the Caddy Sport was a last of the line model, a final edition where someone in charge at VW decided that it would be a good idea to celebrate the Caddy’s demise by creating the Sport.
Essentially a Golf GTi pickup featuring the 95 bhp 1.8 GTi engine, a 5-speed gearbox, Macpherson front struts, leaf springs on the rear (lively), a Zender bodykit and the interior straight out of the 3-door hatchback.
What a good decision that was.
They weren’t cheap, so not a lot arrived in the UK which is probably why there are so few left these days.
At that time, no one could have predicted that the Caddy would achieve the cult-like status that it has.
Engine swaps are common, big wheels, outlandish suspension modifications, trick paintwork,...
