The Gti was certainly the hot hatch to beat in the early 80s and most manufacturers tried hard with the Xr3i,  205 Gti etc.

The Golf was just better built and a properly developed drivers car that was world-class.

This Mars red UK RHD example has recently undergone a high-quality restoration which included engine, the gearbox also new Pirelli’s, Bilstein suspension, exhaust, trim etc.

The finish is exceptional and the underside and under bonnet area has also been focussed on in order to be one of the best examples available anywhere.

On the road, you just have the most fun with its light weight and nimble handling, super-slick 5-speed gearbox and a super flexible fuel-injected engine making cross country trips an absolute pleasure.
