1996 Volkswagen Golf 1.8 GL MK3 5 Door 'Original, Low mileage model'
I am selling my lovely golf MK3 1.8GL finished in the bright Alpine White matched with the lovely Blue interior. The golf has covered just 42,800 Miles and prior to my ownership was kept by the same family since the early 2000s where it was purchased directly from letchworth Volkswagen.

Really nice original example, there are a couple of stone chips, and one stone chip on the rear quarter that has reacted, the paintwork is excellent and the alpine white really suits this vehicle. Plenty of power from the 1.8 8V matched with 5 speed gearbox. This would be and excellent investment - these MK3 golfs are becoming increasingly hard to find, especially in this condition while being nearly 30 years old.
