Finished in Black over a Grey interior, this 1991 Volkswagen Golf Mk2 1.6 Driver Automatic shows just 78,999 miles and has been well looked after throughout its life. This example combines classic Mk2 charm with tasteful upgrades and presents as a solid, drivable retro hatch with plenty of life left.

Under the hood is a 1.6-liter inline-four, paired to an automatic transmission and fitted with a Weber carburetor, offering improved throttle response and reliability over the original setup. The car rides on coilover suspension, providing a more planted stance and sharper handling. Braking has also been upgraded, with larger front brakes giving the car improved stopping power over stock.

The exterior retains its factory appeal with clean black paint, and while there are some age-related marks consistent with the car’s age, it remains presentable. A set of classic GTI bottle-top alloy wheels complete the period-correct aesthetic, wrapped in brand-new tires that were fitted last year and have not been driven on since.

Inside, the car features an upgraded leather interior, adding a touch of refinement to the Mk2’s otherwise utilitarian cabin. The overall interior condition is clean, and all features are reported to be working as they should.

This Mk2 comes with a thick folder of service history and paperwork, illustrating a life of careful maintenance. The seller notes that it runs and drives very nicely, making it a great choice for someone looking for a usable classic with some thoughtful upgrades.
