The Big Bumper Mk2, 16v, GTI was the high water mark for VW’s legendary hot hatch, being widely regarded as the pinnacle of 80’s Hot Hatches. There is much online chatter about them as desirable and appreciating modern classics, a quick “google” reveals:

- The final 16-valve big-bumper models are currently the most sought after, and the market for really good, un-spoilt original cars is keen. - Classic and Sports Car.

- The Mk 2 may have suffered for not being the first Golf GTI, but in many ways it’s a better car: faster, more comfortable and more modern. Grab one before they are all gone. – Autocar.

The Mk 2 Golf was launched in 1984, including our cars little brother the 8v GTI. The 8V’s 110bhp, was soon eclipsed by the competition (205 1.9 GTI etc), VW’s response was the face lift, big bumper 16V, launched for the 1990 model year, raising power to 137bhp. Our example is a very late Mk2, registered in May 92, some months after the much derided Mk3’s UK launch.

Many thanks for wading through our lengthy description, we believe it’s better to describe our cars fully. It is not in our interest to waste your time or ours with inaccurate descriptions. It does of course have the odd age related imperfection, but that would be churlish, its probably the best example currently for sale, and is guaranteed to draw a crowd and positive feedback from fellow aging “yuppies”!
