This 1992 Volkswagen Golf Clipper Karmann Convertible is finished in Pearlescent Green (LC6V) over a black interior and shows 45,200 miles. Powered by a 1.8-liter EX inline-four paired with a manual transmission, this example is not equipped with air conditioning and represents a well-preserved example of the Mk1-based Cabriolet produced by Karmann.
Originally delivered new to Malta, the car remained with its first owner until 2022, when it was shipped to the United Kingdom. The current owner subsequently acquired the car and has carried out ongoing maintenance, preserving its originality while ensuring it remains in good mechanical condition. The relatively low mileage and long-term single ownership prior to import contribute to its well-kept presentation.
The exterior is finished in the distinctive Pearlescent Green (LC6V), a period-correct shade that highlights the Cabriolet’s classic lines, body-colored arches, and signature Clipper styling. The paint presents well overall, consistent with careful ownership and favorable climate history. The convertible top complements the car’s open-air character, while the overall appearance remains true to factory specification.
Inside, the black interior offers a clean and functional cabin that reflects the simplicity of the Golf Cabriolet’s design. Trim and upholstery present well for the mileage, and the layout remains focused on straightforward usability. As a Karmann-built convertible, the car benefits from reinforced structure and quality craftsmanship associated with these models.
Mechanically, the car has received considerable attention from the current owner, including routine servicing and upkeep. It has recently passed its MOT, with a noted advisory relating to a minor oil leak traced to the speedometer cable seal. The seller has already sourced the required replacement part and intends to address this, further supporting the car’s roadworthiness. The 1.8-liter engine is known for its reliability and ease of maintenance, making it well suited for relaxed top-down driving.
