MOT: November 2026
Successor to the Volkswagen Beetle soft-top, the Golf Mk1 Cabriolet was introduced at the 1979 Geneva Salon and remained in production until July 1993. Engineered and built by Karmann of Osnabruck, the newcomer was every bit as stylish as its Giorgetto Guigiaro-penned hatchback sibling. Suitably reinforced thanks to a substantial rollover hoop, trans-dashboard 'knee bar' and strengthened sills etc, it also featured a snug-fitting and well-insulated hood. Arriving during 1988, the Clipper variant shared its quad headlamp visage with the GTi. Further visually distinguished via bigger bumpers, wider wheelarches and sideskirts, the newcomer was powered by a carburettor-fed 1781cc SOHC four-cylinder engine allied to five-speed manual or four-speed automatic transmission.
Acquired by its current (sixth) registered keeper in 2014, ‘G246 OKU’ has covered just 76,000 miles from new. Finished in White with Grey / Check cloth upholstery and a Black soft-top, the Golf is said to be notably well preserved and smart. Sparingly used in recent years, it is due to be freshly MOT tested ahead of the auction. Pleasingly retaining a ‘Merlin Official Volkswagen Centre’ sticker to its heated rear window not to mention a wealth of original paperwork, the Clipper is equipped with the preferred five-speed manual gearbox. Rare to find in this condition, ‘G246 OKU’ is offered for sale with V5C Registration Document and history file.
PLEASE NOTE: This lot passed its most recent MOT test with 'no advisories' and now possesses a certificate valid until November 2026
