The story behind this collectible...

- In Germany, the Love Boat never sails on TV. Frisbees only come and go occasionally. So what do the Germans do for a good time? They love to drive. Serious fun! -

The Golf is almost 49 years old, an immodest folk legend. In 1974 it first hit the streets. The arch-conservative Volkswagen replaced the Beetle with an innovative and modern Golf. A transverse engine with front-wheel drive; The Opel or Ford of the neighbor was still on leaf springs with a rigid rear axle! Two years later the ‘Sport Golf’ was introduced, which quickly became the GTI. Initially only 5,000 units were to be built. Jetzt ist es ein bisschen mehr geworden. Viel mehr!

In the 80s there was a small war among hot hatch enthusiasts. 16-valve engines against turbos; Two ways to get your average four-cylinder out of tune! Volkswagen came up with the superlative in ’88; The Volkswagen Golf GTI 16V G60. End result? A scandalously fast shopping cart that bullied many a company car from the left lane. 220 Pferde on the front axle that goes from -zero to I'm a boss- in 6.9 seconds!

Are you looking for your ultimate midlife. Uh.. Childhood memory?? This original Dutch delivered Volkswagen Golf GTI that was completely restored, overhauled and equipped with a G60 charger in 2015, comes pretty close. And oh yes, those three-part original BBS, with gold core were then and still are, the icing on the childhood dream. If you dare(d). See you soon?
