1983 MK1 Golf Driver 3 Door SOLD

The only MK1 Golf Driver for sale in Britain today.

Low miles and in simply stunning condition, this car is the desirable 3 door variant in the must-have colour, Mars Red.

The V5 shows 4 keepers with the third keeper from 26/ 5/ 16, so the first two owners clocked up 33 years between them.

The car lay in a barn for a lot of its life, as it came from a family with farming connections, although I hate the ‘barn find’ tag, this actually may have been a barn find before they became trendy! ????

The Driver is rarer than the GTI, and as such I think a sounder bet for value.

The car quite possibly came with steel wheels, although on asking around, the bottle top alloys fitted were possibly an option. Saying that, the car came with a set of chrome rings, so you just never know. The rings go with the car.

The cars paint was tired in areas around the door jamb and sill, where it looks like the lethargic seat belts, also noted on the MOT, have been clattering around.

The car also had horrible non standard decals along the side, although they looked completely of the period so most likely a dealer fit back in the day.

What have I had done?;
The bonnet was refinished – it had some micro blisters as a result (probably) of something lying on it in storage. A tarp probably, caused the paint to sweat.
Both sides below the swage – the sills and jambs needed it.
Machine polished – the paint needed it. It was by no means dull, but a professional polish is worth a million dollars on the right car.
Detailed – I spent two days cleaning it! Still seeing wee marks here and there I need to clean.

All the mouldings came off, the doors were re-hung and the decal kit is being re-made.
The original sill trims were refinished and are now refitted.

The car still needs bits and pieces, but that’s for the next owner, and half the fun of these cars.

You need to make it your own.
