This particular VW Golf GTi Mk2 8V was supplied new to a Mr William Hird, on 15/08/1989 via Links Garage, Derbyshire. Finished in Tornado Red with a grey and red interior, the car is in immaculate condition throughout. The cabin features its original carpets, mats, steering wheel and gearknob, along with the toolkit and the VW first aid kit which is still in its original cellophane wrapping. Serviced by the supplying dealer whilst in Mr Hird’s ownership, a neighbour had always known about the car, and it wasn’t until 2010 that Mr Green was able to persuade Mr Hird to sell his beloved GTi. It was then that the car started its journey of Concours events and VW shows. Its third owner, a Mr Chris Burt, was a seasoned VW Concours entrant and purchased this already beautiful car with the aim of taking it to the incredible level we see today. Numerous awards and Concours trophies later, the Golf’s show career culminated in taking first place honours at the Stanford Hall Concours d’Elegance in 2019 – considered to be the best in the country for Volkswagens, Audis and Porsches. The original VW grey bookpack is complete and contains all the appropriate manuals, service book and dealer literature. Two full history files containing letters, masses of invoices and old MOT’s dating back to 1992 corroborate the currently indicated mileage of 27,000. Supplied with a UK V5 and an MOT until 01/06/2020, this is, without doubt, the finest example of the VW marque Silverstone Auctions have ever offered and we invite you to come and marvel yourself at this celebrated Concours champion.
