Random # 6: Mk 1 Golf GTI
UMPH's cup runneth over! First his previous post's MGA then, minutes later, this spot-on early Golf GTI in Elizabeth Street, North Hobart.
Hard to believe that it's 35 years old! |
According to its current owner, it was an original UK car that accompanied the chap that used own it to Victoria, Australia, when he migrated about ten years ago. It ended up not being driven that often and was sold to our Tasmanian friend a few years later.
These original Pirelli wheels look great! |
Now the lucky bloke's got two Mark 1 GTIs, which isn't a bad effort seeing that they weren't ever commercially available here in Australia. It's thought that there are maybe only ten or so in the whole country.
