Volkswagen Golf GLi

Info

Looking for a fun car for a limited budget ? Look no further. We have this 1981 Volkswagen Golf I cabrio in the GTi (GLi) version on sale. The car is in good condition but can use an upgrade on the interior and has some damage on the left front of the car.

No need to address these issues right away but in time it can add some value to this ‘low mileage’ (135.000 kms) cabrio which features a new roof. It is presented on alloy wheels but the original wheels are with the car as well so you can choose which to fit.

The Volkswagen Golf Mk1 is the first generation of a small family car manufactured and marketed by Volkswagen. It was noteworthy for signalling Volkswagen's shift of its major car lines from rear-wheel drive and rear-mounted air-cooled engines to front-wheel drive with front mounted, water-cooled engines that were often transversely-mounted.

Successor to Volkswagen's Beele, the first generation Golf debuted in Europe in May 1974 with styling by Giorgetto Giugiaro’s Italdesign.

A convertible version of the Golf was presented to Volkswagen's management by coachbuilder Wilhelm Karmann GmbH as early as 1976. This early prototype lacked the roll-over bar of the later version, and had a flat body line in the rear, where the soft top folded down below the sill level.
