Volkswagen Golf GTI 1987

The 1987 Volkswagen Golf GTI is a model that has made its mark in the automotive world. This particular example was originally delivered new in Spain and featured the 16V KR engine, which offered a sporty driving experience with 139 hp. The car had a striking appearance thanks to the original HELLA bodykit and was equipped with power windows, air conditioning and a sunroof. The absence of a catalytic converter, as mentioned in the original vehicle documents, made it an interesting variant within the GTI line of the time.

This Golf GTI represented the sporty spirit of Volkswagen in the 1980s, a period when the compact hatchback firmly established its popularity. The combination of practical features and sporty performance made the Golf GTI a sought-after model among car enthusiasts and collectors. It is a car that has its history, with a character that captures the imagination of many an enthusiast. The car was recently discovered as a barnfind and has already undergone several technical upgrades since then. For example, the timing belt, tensioners, water pump, clutch, oil and filters have been renewed, as have the rear brakes.

The current paint shows a dull sheen, which is not unusual for a vehicle exposed to the Spanish sun. This can be remedied with a good polish. The Golf GTI offers a unique opportunity for the enthusiast to continue work on a rare specimen. Including the original Spanish papers, this car can be a valuable addition to a collection.
