The 1988 Volkswagen Golf GTi Mk. II is an iconic 1980s hot hatch, combining sharp handling, understated styling and everyday practicality. Powered by a lively 1.8 litre engine, it offers an engaging driving experience and timeless appeal. With its distinctive design and legendary reputation, the Mk. II GTi remains highly desirable among enthusiasts and collectors today.

A genuinely remarkable time warp example, this 1988 Mk. II GTi has covered just 44,385 miles and had only two owners from new. First registered on an F-plate and supplied by Melbourne Volkswagen of Croydon, it remains highly original and unmodified, retaining its rare Atlas Grey Green paintwork, small-bumper, three-door specification, factory P-Slot wheels and original GTi interior. The interior is particularly well preserved, featuring the original Rainbow GTi cloth seats, four-spoke steering wheel, Panasonic radio cassette, golf-ball gear knob, MFA display, VDO clocks and Volkswagen over-mats. The dashboard, headlining, door cards and pedals are all consistent with its exceptionally low mileage. Powered by the original 1,781cc, 8 valve fuel-injected engine producing 112bhp, the car is offered with a V5 registration document showing two former keepers. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a genuine, low-mileage, two-owner Mk. II GTi that has escaped modification and restoration. Consigned by Dominic Lake
