Volkswagen Golf GTI Mk2 16v 1992

Allmän beskrivning : Model History

The VW Golf Mk2 succeeded the Mk1 from 1983 and remained in production until late 1992. Volkswagen reportedly spent £500 million developing the Mk2. The car slightly grew in wheelbase, with greater exterior and interior dimensions over its predecessor. Despite this it still retained the overall look of the Mk1, albeit slightly more rounder as to improve aerodynamics and reduce drag. During the life of the Mk2 there were a variety of updates and revisions to styling and trim, the most notable was the introduction of the 'big bumpers' introduced in the European market during the August 1989 facelift.

The success of the Mk1 GTI was continued with the sporty Mk2 GTI, and to capitalise on the worldwide success of the Mk1 GTI Volkswagen chose to release the Mk2 GTI in the same year as the rest of the fleet. It featured a 1.8-litre 8v engine with a more powerful 16v variant – as featured here – following shortly.

Popularity of the Mk2 grew from the 1987 advertisement “Changes” in which Paula Hamilton bearing a close resemblance to Diana, Princess of Wales is seen leaving her husband, posting her wedding ring back through the letterbox, ditching her mink coat, throwing the house keys at the cat and dumping the pearl necklace BUT keeping the car keys; it used the tag line “If only everything in life was as reliable as a Volkswagen”. The commercial was a hit and changed the way cars were advertised from then on.

Equipment

Tornado Red paintwork, Grey ‘rainbow’ striped cloth upholstery, 15-inch BBS RA alloy wheels, Power steering, Electric windows, Manual sunroof, Blaupunkt Bremen DAB radio with Bluetooth and USB connectivity, 16v insignia, Lockable glove compartment, Cassette storage, Digital clock, Ash tray, Cigar lighter, VW carpet mats, VW first aid kit, Spare key.

Exterior

Surely the perfect spec for a Mk2 GTI, this 3dr ‘big bumper’ 16v presents beautifully in gleaming Tornado Red. Having just been treated to a full detail and machine polish the bodywork retains a great depth of shine with no off-colour panels or fading from the sun. There are very few stone chips to report at the front end and she’s nice and straight along both sides. The car has never been fully restored but has likely seen some remedial paint to keep it in such nice shape. The bumpers, wheel arch trims and rubbing strips are also free from any scuffs or scrapes, and the lights are clear with no damage or moisture ingress. A fantastic example in excellent mileage-defying condition.

Interior

Sitting inside it’s hard to believe the car has actually driven 97k miles. Even on close inspection everything remains in fine original condition, the only upgrade over standard being a very smart Blaupunkt head unit with Bluetooth and USB. All the seats retain their original rainbow-striped cloth and aside from one small worn area on the driver’s upper bolster, they’re absolutely first-rate. Glancing across the dash there are no notable marks or sun damage and the centre console still feels reassuringly solid, further testament to the surperb fit and finish VW are known for. Other commonly worn areas such as the gear knob and steering wheel show few signs of wear, and in the footwells the spotless black carpets are well protected by a set of VW overmats. At the rear of the car the back seats are perfect and the boot is also very clean with the original undamaged parcel shelf still in place.

ENGINE & TRANSMISSION

Lift the bonnet and you’re presented with a particularly smart 16v engine bay, not overly dressed but in excellent original condition. All the paintwork is clean and original, and there are no signs of any damage or previous poor repair. In April last year, around 800 miles ago, the car received a major service and general shakedown including new auxiliary belts, gearbox oil, power steering fluid, antifreeze, etc. (more items listed below).

WHEELS, TYRES & BRAKES

The Golf sits on the correct 15-inch BBS alloy wheels, all in perfect unmarked condition having previously been refurbished to a very high standard. They are shod in a matching set of premium Continental tyres that have seen little use since they were fitted in April 2022. The brakes and underside have also been attended to recently with new discs and pads all round, a brake fluid change, rear wheel bearings, and front suspension top mounts.

History File

This very smart 16v GTI was first registered in May 1992. The accompanying History File comprises the original VW document wallet and manuals, a raft of invoices dating back to the late 90s, past MOT certificates, old tax discs, the original stamped service booklet with 13 entries, a USB stick documenting the car’s recent life in high resolution photographs, a spare key, and the V5C showing 10 former keepers.
