VVS are delighted to offer this 1983 VW Golf GTI MK1 Campaign edition, this is a car which has great presence. It sits squarely and looks like an immediate flashback to the roaring 1980’s. Everything presents well – the interior is superbly finished, door shuts, panel lines and all the badges and trim are correct. It presents as a Golf GTi should; a car that means business! These are all good signs that the car has been owned by a series of enthusiast owners.
The car's 1.8 litre engine uses a 5-speed manual gearbox and is mounted transversely driving the front wheels, unusual for VW at the time of the Golf’s launch. This white Golf GTi has something else that is special and now quite rare, it is confirmed as one of just 1000 genuine MK 1 Campaign's because it has the E digit on the car ID. This was the last hoorah for the MK 1 Golf and had some valuable extras thrown in. These included a quad-lamp front grille, green tinted glass, matt black ‘A-pillar’ and window trims, factory sliding sunroof and (now very hard to find) P 6Jx14 alloy wheels. The interior featured a leather-wrapped steering wheel, internal mirror adjusters and the MFA trip computer system. So the car came with some nice driving touches. This car drives today as it should, tight and fast with no rattles or rolls. Money has been spent in the right places resulting in a car that is still a wonderful reminder of why the Golf is so loved even now.
