Introduction
Alan Stuart
Engineered for driving enjoyment, this MK1 cabriolet is a great example of classic '80s Golf styling.
The Golf is unsurpassed as one of Volkswagen’s best selling car models and still holds a place as one of the world’s best selling cars of all time. Built by Karmann under instruction from VW, the cabriolet, drop top variant of the Golf is a fine example of vehicle engineering adding in a reinforced body, roll over bar and additional levels of trim.
Driving enjoyment has been key to Volkswagen’s heritage throughout the years and with such memorable looks it’s easy to see why the Golf still remains such a firm favourite for casual motorists and enthusiasts alike.
With its sculpted lines this 1986 MK1 Golf just screams '80s style, boasting boxy angles and angular looks. This classic three door / four seater Golf packs a 1.8L petrol engine motor and is finished in Alpine White with a blue colour contrasting fold-down roof.
Having been purchased due to a love of cabriolet cars, the Golf has benefitted from restorative work over its current ownership. In 2010 the car had new rear brake pads, new front discs, pads and hoses fitted. New rear shocks were upgraded, rear fog lamp, new exhaust downpipe, a new cam belt, new wheel bearings and a replacement blue hood. The car also had replacement front top mounts for the shocks, upgraded MK2 brake servo and new Pirelli P slot wheels in 2021.
This listing was written from information supplied by Alan after meeting Brian the owner, and having visited and photographed the vehicle.
