KEY FACTS
- This Mk4 Volkswagen Golf R32 is a sought-after and charismatic modern classic hot hatch, offered with very low mileage and a single owner since new.

- First registered in November 2003, this example is offered for sale by its first and only owner since new.
- The odometer shows just 15,792 miles from new.
EQUIPMENT AND FEATURES
- This Mk4 Golf R32 is finished in the stylish shade of Diamond Black Pearl, over a grey leather and Alcantara-trimmed interior, featuring embroidered R logos on the seat backs, a black upper dashboard and door cappings, and brushed aluminium-effect trim.
- It rides on a set of 18-inch multi-spoke alloy wheels, framing blue brake callipers, and fitted with Michelin Pilot Sport tyres.
- Equipment includes xenon headlights, heated front seats, a Volkswagen-branded cassette and CD stereo with six-disc multichanger, automatic air conditioning, and König bucket seats.
- It will be accompanied by two remote keys, the V5C, and its original handbook pack.

SUMMARY
This Volkswagen Golf Mk4 R32 is an increasingly collectible example of one of the defining hot hatches of the early 2000s, combining the charismatic naturally aspirated VR6 engine with a desirable six-speed manual gearbox and four-wheel-drive system. Reportedly presented in factory-standard specification, with just one owner from new and showing fewer than 16,000 miles, it would make a rewarding addition to any collection of modern performance cars, while remaining an engaging and highly usable driver's car for daily driving, weekend road trips and enthusiast event visits alike.
