For sale is a 1997 Volkswagen Golf VR6 Highline, finished in a sleek black exterior with a distinctive Mulberry and black interior. This three-door model, with 147,000 miles on the clock, is powered by the renowned 2.8-liter VR6 engine, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission. The car is equipped with air conditioning, making it a comfortable choice for any drive.

This particular VR6 is a Highline model, known for its premium features and performance upgrades. The engine has been enhanced with a head spacer, and it runs smoothly with many new engine parts recently installed. The car also benefits from an LSD gearbox from a USA brand, providing better traction and handling.

The Golf sits on 17" Audi TT Comps wheels, giving it an aggressive stance, while the S3 front calipers and Mk4 rear brakes offer upgraded stopping power. The suspension has been lowered on coilovers, adding to the sporty feel of the ride. A new catalytic converter has also been fitted, ensuring the car meets emissions standards and runs efficiently.

Inside, the Highline model features the desirable Mulberry seats, although one does require some repair. The interior overall is in good condition, with all the Highline trimmings intact. The car passed its MOT earlier this year in 2024 and has seen limited use since then, suggesting it should pass the next one without issue.

While the bodywork could benefit from some paint touch-ups and minor repairs, these are cosmetic and do not affect the car's overall performance or drivability. With a little TLC, this Golf VR6 could be brought back to its former glory, making it an excellent project for an enthusiast or a solid daily driver for someone who appreciates the blend of performance and comfort that the VR6 offers.
