VW Mk2 Golf GTI 8v...

Back...

My lovely Mk2 GTI - the best 'GTI' I ever owned.

On Wednesday 7th August 2002 I became the proud owner of a 1991 black VW Golf GTI 8v Mk2. This one has full VW service history, HPI clear and was immaculate. It has power steering and central locking as well as a factory-sunroof. I just couldn't stand the alloy wheels (see last pic)! So, a bit of work later...
