The fourth generation Golf launched in 1997 marked a shift toward greater refinement and build quality. Featuring a more rounded design and improved interior, it helped set new standards for its class. The car quickly became a popular choice, appealing to a broad audience ranging from young drivers to families. Its wide engine range, economical diesels and performance-oriented GTI and V6 4Motion models boosted its appeal, becoming one of the best-known hatchbacks of its time.
Extensively modified for track use, this example was originally a Golf V5 model, now converted to the desirable 1.8-litre 20-valve turbocharged engine, with the change correctly registered with the DVLA. Further performance upgrades include a remapped ECU, Bilstein B14 coilovers, EBC performance brakes and a sports exhaust system. The interior has been fully raced stripped with a full OMP bolt-in roll cage (in red), Sparco REV bucket seats, and OMP 5-point harnesses, along with a plumbed-in Lifeline fire system. Offered with an extremely large history file showing over £9,000 spent at Demon Tweeks with total expenditure nearing £15,000. Surely one of the most bang for your buck examples for track use or entry level racing.
