About this Golf GTI Mk2

THE OEM+ SHOWCAR – VOLKSWAGEN GOLF GTI 16V MK2 🇩🇪🔥

Lightweight, analogue, and endlessly iconic, the Mk2 Golf GTI remains one of the greatest hot hatches ever built. This particular example takes that legendary formula and elevates it with one of the most loved upgrades in the Volkswagen world – a full 2.0-litre 16-valve ABF engine conversion, delivering stronger performance while keeping the raw, mechanical character that made the Mk2 a legend.

Most recently, the car has been through a comprehensive £15,000 overhaul at VRS Performance in Leicester – one of the country’s leading VW Audi specialists. The ABF has been fully rebuilt and fitted with individual throttle bodies, producing a dyno-verified 172 bhp – transforming the rev-happy 16-valve into something genuinely wild in a chassis this light. This is a car that has had serious money spent in the right places, by the right people.

The bodywork is every bit as considered. The extensive yet subtle work was carried out by Stylehaus in Northampton, finished with a full respray in its original and extremely rare Schwarz Blue. A well-known showcar that has been overhauled repeatedly since 2005 and featured in magazines and at events throughout its life, it comes with a folder of history nearly four inches thick.

Backed by an INSANE history, this is Mk2 GTI gold:

  • 1990 Volkswagen Golf GTI 16V Mk2 (reg is G806 UYO)
  • Iconic showcar with overhauls in 2005/06, 2010/11, 2020 and 2026
