Because it is a Golf Limited, of course.
The outside looks a Volkswagen Golf Limited maybe as a regular visitor of zaterdagavondmeetings at fast food restaurants, but what we see here is actually the allertofste Golf II that once and for all from Wolfsburg is to come rolling in. The Golf II GTI are numerous variants: with 8 valves, 16 valves, with a G-charger, or as a Rally-version with all-wheel drive. In the Gulf Limited get all these ingredients in the most glorious way.
Volkswagen Motorsport has there in the late eighties, 71 built (by hand). Under the hood was a 1.8-liter 16V, which was slightly fragile but ó so tasty G-charger is supported in his breathing. Result: 210 horses and 252 newton meters, which is about four wheels is divided. The 0-100 sprint are you doing this to 7.1 seconds. On the Autobahn you could see the Mares and Bimmers of that era with ease keep track of, because the acceleration was stopped only at 235 km/h.
Three-piece BBS and heated seats
Where you’ll be able to recognize it? Well, they were only provided with thin bumpers, a babyblauwe piping in the grille, some of the Hella headlights and a Volkswagen Motorsport logo next to it. Also, only the five-door body, because that was stronger than the driedeurs variant. Inside was the Highline-interior applied: leather seats with heating, four electric windows and a zonnendakje. Also was the car standard with power steering and ABS, as well as three-piece BBS messages (15″).
With only 71 instances was exclusivity immediately. Moreover, they were only in Germany sold if the bobo’s in the VAG-management as a first pick. The Golf Limited, with a price tag of 68,000 DM, was so only for the happy few.
A tweedehandsje is now a chore, but we discovered a in the Austrian Lustenau, with 150k on the clock. So you can call maarrr: is a asking price of 40 mille for the most exclusive Golf II justified? And would you make about them? (mirror)
