Volkswagen Golf 1989

Allgemeine Beschreibung : With a total production run of only 71 units, G60 Limited do not come up for sale often. This particular example seen just one registered UK owner since it arrived in the UK from Germany in 2007. Official correspondence from VW confirms the car was built in Wolfsburg in the Spring of 1989. With little over 67k miles (108,921km) under its belt, this very special Mk2 Golf – a Bonafide G60 Limited (No. 16 of 71) – presents a unique opportunity for one lucky individual to acquire one of the rarest and most sought-after VWs in the world today.MODEL HISTORYConceived by VW’s Motorsport division and built largely by hand, the G60 Limited was based on the five-door Golf Syncro with its viscous-coupled four-wheel drive system. To this was added ABS, power steering, electric windows, central locking, a steel sunroof, heated front seats, a full leather interior and an on-board computer. At the time of its conception German tuners had already begun to exploit the latent potential of the G60 engine, offering conversions ranging from 180bhp to 200bhp for the Corrado and Rallye Golf. However, VW Motorsport went one better right from the start by applying the G60 supercharger to the 16-valve rather than the eight-valve engine. The result was 210bhp at 6,500rpm and 1861b/ft of torque at 5,000rpm with an 8.8:1 compression ratio and the supercharger providing 23psi of boost.The Golf G60 Limited was the fastest production road car to have left any VW plant destined for a private customer and, like most of the projects that emanated from VW Motorsport, it was the brainchild of Klaus-Peter Rosorius; “The idea was to have a nice, elegant-looking production Golf without external modifications but lots of fascination under the bonnet”. A total of just 71 units were produced making the G60 Limited one of the rarest and most sought-after VWs in the world today.EQUIPMENTGraphite Grey Metallic paintwork, Black Nappa leather upholstery, 15-inch BBS RM split-rim alloy wheels, Motorsport grille with blue surround, Motorsport badges front and rear, Single headlights, Heated front seats, Leather-trimmed steering wheel, Motorsport leather gear knob, Leather door cards, Sunroof, Electric windows all round, Electric door mirrors, On-board computer, Syncro AWD, ABS, PAS, VW carpet mats, Cassette holder, MPH speedometer (odometer in km/h) Remote central locking, Immobiliser.EXTERIORBeautifully finished in a lustrous coat of Graphite Grey Metallic this incredibly rare G60 Limited (no. 16 of only 71) looks fantastic against our studio backdrop – and it certainly doesn’t disappoint up close. Having been fully refreshed to a very high standard a few years back the paintwork presents amazingly well with a deep and uniform shine across every panel. The car is arrow-straight along both sides and at the front end there’s barely a stone chip in sight. All the bumpers, trims and plastics appear in excellent original condition with a perfect texture having never been painted or poorly restored. Finer details such as the seals, rubbers, and badges also appear very fresh, again the only negative here being a few small chips to the Motorsport grille badge. The underside also remains in fine fettle having been professionally cleaned and treated last year to preserve its excellent condition.INTERIORThe interior space is a great place to be with pristine leather upholstery and a number of creature comforts including heated sports seats, electric mirrors, and electric windows all round. Back in 2019 the seats were fully retrimmed in the correct OE-spec Nappa leather and, having seen only very light use since then, they remain in perfect unworn condition. Leather trim extends to the door cards, handbrake lever, gear knob and steering wheel, all presenting in very good original order with only a few minor marks and signs of use to report, namely to the gear knob and around the edge of the wheel. In the footwells the black carpets are all spotless, unfaded, and protected by a complete set of VW over mats. The headlining is also perfect with no marks or sagging to note, and in the boot, you’ll still find the VW first aid kit and an undamaged parcel shelf with no unsightly speaker holes having ever been cut. An excellent interior overall with just the right level of patina.ENGINE & TRANSMISSIONConceived as a challenge for VW’s motorsport division, the Mk2 Golf G60 Limited was a car whose sum was even greater than its parts – a particularly praiseworthy feat when you consider just what parts made the Limited so special. Such delights included the suspension and gearbox from the Group A Rallye Golf, the four-wheel drive system from the Syncro, and a supercharger for VW’s venerable 16-valve 1.8-litre engine. In this guise, a Limited driver would discover 210hp beneath their right foot – enough to make this the fastest production VW ever back in the day – and, thanks to that clever syncro system, more than ample traction to make good use of it.Lifting the bonnet of this particular car is a treat for any VW enthusiast, the engine bay presenting in very fine order, not overly dressed but in excellent original condition. This Golf has cherished by the same careful owner since 2007 and during that time it has always been maintained to a high standard. In 2008 it was treated to a complete mechanical overhaul and top-end engine rebuild at VAG tuning specialist, G-Werks. A few subtle modifications are present, notably an uprated supercharger, gas flowed head, Shrick cams, and a bespoke stainless steel exhaust system. The car has also been remapped by Pitstop Developments to correct any lean fuelling issues (rolling road printouts are available)FOR EUROPEAN BUYERSDUE TO BREXIT YOU’LL HAVE TO PAY A CLASSIC CAR TAX BETWEEN 5-12% ON TOP OF THE ASKING DEPENDING ON THE COUNTRY FOR CARS UK/EU OR EU/UK.I CAN ASSIST WITH TRANSPORT AND/OR OFFER A DOOR-TO-DOOR SERVICE INCLUDING TRANSPORT & CUSTOMS – ask for my feesTHIS CAR IS LOCATED IN THE UK/ENGLAND and sold on behalf of the UK seller/owner.

über Volkswagen
Die Volkswagen-Geschichte ist in der Tat eine faszinierende Geschichte von Innovation, Belastbarkeit und Wiederbelebung nach dem Krieg, die von verschiedenen Modellen gekennzeichnet ist, die in der Automobilgeschichte zu Ikone geworden sind.

Das Volksauto (Volkswagen): Zunächst von Adolf Hitler in den 1930er Jahren als "Volksauto" oder "Volkswagen" auf Deutsch vorgestellt, war die Idee, ein erschwingliches und praktisches Fahrzeug für das deutsche Volk zu schaffen. Dieses Konzept führte zur Entwicklung des von Ferdinand Porsche entworfenen Volkswagenkäfers (oder des Typ 1).
Nachkriegsherausforderungen: Nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg stand Volkswagen erhebliche Herausforderungen. Die Fabrik war stark beschädigt, und die Verbindung der Marke mit dem NS -Regime führte in einigen Regionen zu einem mangelnden Interesse an dem Auto.
Britische Intervention - Die britische Armee & Ivan Hirst: Die britische Armee übernahm die Kontrolle über die Fabrik in der unmittelbaren Nachkriegszeit. Major Ivan Hirst, ein Offizier der britischen Armee, spielte eine entscheidende Rolle bei der Wiederbelebung von Volkswagen. Er erkannte das Potenzial des Käfers und setzte sich für seine Produktion ein. Er überzeugte das britische Militär, mehrere tausend Autos zu bestellen. Diese Entscheidung hat dazu beigetragen, die Wiederbelebung der Marke zu starten.
Exporterfolg und der globale Anziehungskraft des Käfers: Der Käfer gewann nicht nur in Deutschland, sondern auch weltweit an Popularität und wurde zu einer Ikone des erschwinglichen Fahrwerks. Das einfache, zuverlässige Design und das einzigartige Erscheinungsbild machten es zu einem Favoriten unter den Verbrauchern weltweit.
Modellentwicklung: Im Laufe der Jahre führte Volkswagen verschiedene Modelle neben dem Käfer ein, wobei jeder zum Wachstum der Marke beitrug:
Typ 2 (VW -Bus oder Transporter): In den 1950er Jahren wurde er in den 1960er Jahren zu einem ikonischen Symbol der Hippie -Bewegung eingeführt und wurde wegen seiner Geräumigkeit und Vielseitigkeit geliebt.
Golf (Kaninchen in den USA): Der Golf (oder Kaninchen in den USA) wurde Mitte der 1970er Jahre ins Leben gerufen und markierte eine Verlagerung in Richtung Frontantrieb, modernes Design und Schrägheckpraktikabilität und wurde zu einem Eckpfeiler des Erfolgs der Marke.
Passat, Jetta und andere Modelle: Volkswagen erweiterte seine Aufstellung mit Modellen wie dem Passat und Jetta, die sich für verschiedene Marktsegmente befassen.
Herausforderungen und Innovationen: Trotz des Erfolgs stand Volkswagen vor Herausforderungen, einschließlich Qualitätsproblemen in den 1970er Jahren. Die Marke hat jedoch weiterhin neue Modelle und Technologien entwickelt und entwickelt.
Aufstieg des GTI und globaler Expansion: In den 1980er Jahren stieg der legendäre Golf GTI auf, eine Hochleistungsversion, die den Trend der heißen Luke auslöste. Volkswagen erweiterte auch seine globale Präsenz in diesem Zeitraum.
Die britische Intervention bei der Wiederbelebung von Volkswagen nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg spielte eine entscheidende Rolle bei der Wiederbelebung der Marke. Während es in den 1950er und 1960er Jahren aufgrund des Erfolgs von Volkswagen in den 1950er und 1960er Jahren möglicherweise einige Spannungen oder einen Wettbewerb zwischen Automobilunternehmen gegeben hat, hat die Fähigkeit der Marke, innovative und beliebte Modelle zu produzieren, ihren Platz in der Automobilgeschichte festigend.
