The Appeal

The Golf GTI is rightfully hailed as the stuff of legend, and by the MK4, it had been finessed into a fine art. Eminently drivable, practical, and perky, these were the perfect first car for many drivers and quickly sparked a passionate love affair with the legendary hot-hatch. These cars often munched up the miles, so seeing one like this is particularly scarce.

Having covered less than 5,000 miles from new - backed by its service history - this Golf is finished in an eye-catching hue of Oceanic Green Pearl and benefits from a life in garage storage. With an MOT valid until September 2027 and no history of total loss or structural issues, it's really quite a remarkable find; how many of these will you come across with such a low number on the clock? We'd wager very few!
