This is a clean, genuine example of a Mk1 Golf (it even has the genuine number plates and dealer stamps on the mud guards)!

It is being sold as a project due to it being stored up in a garage for approximately 20 years by the previous owner so requires some attention before being driven on the roads. 

The history of the car isn't clear as the previous owner had passed away when I purchased the car and the family were unsure how long the car had been garaged for. From the documents I have I can see that the previous owner bought the car in 1999 from VW Vindis. There are invoices for the servicing being done in 2000 at VW Vindis and then in 2001 at a local garage, but unfortunately I don't have a servicing book present. There is a document which shows the vehicle was SORN in 2003 and I am guessing that it has been off the road since then as there are no further documents after this date.

I have owned it for 2 years and had the intention of getting it back on the road but lack of time has got in the way. I haven't had a thorough look over the car or done anything mechanically to it myself so I am unable to say what it does require to get it back on the road.

The car does run, I have only had it running on my driveway a few times and have noticed the engine tick over is high on idle and there does look to be a coolant leak from the radiator area. The temp gauge went hot once but it was switched off as soon as it did but I can only assume that this is related to the coolant leak.
