1990 VOLKSWAGEN GOLF

Classic Mk2 charm with the sought-after big bumper design, this 1990 Volkswagen Golf 1.8 GL 4+E is a genuine modern classic that blends retro style with dependable everyday usability. Powered by the reliable 1.8L carburettor petrol engine paired with a 5-speed manual gearbox, it delivers the unmistakable analogue driving feel that made the Mk2 Golf such an icon. The GL 4+E model was designed with economy in mind, offering relaxed cruising while still retaining the lightweight handling and responsive character the Golf is famous for. The carburettor setup keeps things simple, easy to maintain, and full of old-school charm exactly how a classic Volkswagen should feel. This example features the desirable factory big bumper styling, giving the car the cleaner, more modern late-spec Mk2 appearance that enthusiasts love. Combined with the timeless boxy lines and practical hatchback layout, it remains a strong base for either enjoyment as-is or a rewarding restoration project. Having had 6 owners from new and showing 160k miles on the clock, this Golf also comes with long-term ownership history, including 18 years with the current keeper. It comes complete with the original Volkswagen service book showing annual entries, with the last service carried out on 13/03/2025. The car has covered less than 8,000 miles in the last 10 years and has been regularly maintained throughout its life. It starts, runs, and drives well, with a very good interior condition. The bodywork does show its age, with areas of corrosion and rust present, which is typical for Mk2 Golfs of this era. It has, however, passed an MOT every year until the most recent one, which expired in March.
