This lot will be auctioned via Iconic Auctioneers, The Classic Sale at Wheeler Dealer Live 2025 on Sunday the 1st of June, Bicester Heritage, OX26 5HA.
All Mk1 Golf Cabriolets from 1988 onwards were fitted with a ‘Clipper’ bodykit, comprising body-coloured bumpers, flared wheel arches and side skirts
Using the same 1,781cc engine as the GTi, although fitted with a single carburettor, the 90bhp Clipper was considerably cheaper and equally stylish
This example was purchased in 1989 from Scotts of Sloane Square, a VW dealership famous for providing many a 'Sloane Ranger' with a new Golf
It has covered just 34,811 miles and has been in current ownership since 2022 spending some time in Jersey (J151080)
Attractively presented in Helios Blue over a grey carpeted interior with grey-toned tartan upholstery seats wrapping around to the door cards
It still wears the original dealer plates and tax disc holder and is supplied with its original dealer book packs, stamped service book, previous MOTs and invoices, tonneau cover and two keys
This Mk1 Volkswagen Golf is a smart open-top city car, with the ‘Clipper’ bodykit presenting in generally excellent condition and would now make a fun addition to any household, just in time for the rest of the summer
