Description

Only 55,459 miles; MOT until March 2027; unmodified GTI 5dr; massive history with receipts and invoices

This wonderfully preserved and increasingly sought-after 1994 Volkswagen Mk3 Golf GTI is presented in iconic Tornado Red with its correct GTI black cloth interior.

First registered in November 1994, this example has had just four former keepers from new and is now showing a remarkably low 55,459 miles, supported by history and documentation.

Powered by the dependable 1,984cc 8-valve engine paired with a 5-speed manual transmission, this GTI delivers the engaging, analogue driving experience that has made the model a modern classic. The car has been in its current ownership since February 2025 and was driven over 50 miles to site, performing exactly as expected with smooth starting, steady idling, and confident road manners throughout.

The condition of the car is a real highlight. The bodywork presents very well in its original Tornado Red finish, retaining a strong shine and consistent appearance, while the interior remains clean, correct and true to its era, with the GTI cloth trim in particularly pleasing order. There is a minor point to note in that the lower right-hand black side skirt appears to have been repaired previously and would benefit from being refitted to a higher standard, though this does little to detract from the overall presentation.

Accompanying the car is a reassuring history file, including four previous MOT certificates, an MOT valid until March 2027, and five service stamps recorded up to 26,454 miles. The original handbook is present, along with a substantial collection of invoices and receipts documenting maintenance and work carried out over the years.

An honest, well-kept example of the Mk3 GTI that offers usability, character, and growing collector appeal, this is a car that can be enjoyed immediately while also representing a sound addition to any modern classic collection.
