Description
Styled very much in the image
of the highly sought-after Rivage limited edition; electric hood operation;
1,781cc petrol engine coupled to a manual gearbox; showing 144,024
miles
Few cars capture the spirit of carefree summer motoring quite
like the Volkswagen Golf Cabriolet. Instantly recognisable thanks to its
distinctive roll-over hoop and handsome Giugiaro-inspired styling, the Golf
Cabriolet proved enormously popular throughout the 1980s and 1990s, offering
practicality, reliability and open-top enjoyment in equal measure.
First
registered in May 1991, this Volkswagen Golf Clipper Cabriolet is powered by the
dependable 1,781cc petrol engine coupled to a manual gearbox. Finished in deep
metallic blue with a matching dark blue hood, it presents particularly well and
sits on attractive Rivage-style alloy wheels which complement the car's
appearance perfectly.
Showing 144,024 miles, the Golf has clearly been
enjoyed throughout its life. The current V5C records 11 former keepers and,
significantly, the car was driven to the sale, further demonstrating its
usability. We are advised that it has also been starting and driving well during
its time with us for photography and video duties.
Styled very much in
the image of the highly sought-after Rivage limited edition, this Clipper offers
much of the same visual appeal at what is likely to be a more accessible price
point. A particularly desirable feature is the electric hood operation, while a
matching hood cover is included for those occasions when the roof is folded
down, giving the car a neat and finished appearance.
The accompanying
paperwork includes the V5C together with an MOT valid until July 2027, providing
reassurance for the next owner.
Increasingly appreciated as modern
classics, Golf Cabriolets continue to attract enthusiasts thanks to their robust
mechanicals, excellent parts availability and timeless good looks. With its
attractive colour combination, electric hood and Rivage-inspired styling, this
smart Clipper Cabriolet looks ready to be enjoyed throughout the summer and
beyond.
