Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This is a limited edition 1988 Volkswagen Golf GTI 8v in Oak Green, presented with an extensive history file and documented full rebuild. Despite its desirable spec and recent work, it requires some attention to the roof paint, central locking, and instrument panel lights.
Condition
7
The car is a limited edition Mk2 Golf GTI 8v, which is a desirable classic. It has a comprehensive history file and has undergone a full glass-out respray and rebuild. However, there are some known issues: the roof has cracking paint, the central locking needs connecting, and the instrument panel lights are not working, though the vendor believes it's a loose connection. These minor issues require some reconditioning.
