History

This 9000-mile perfect 1988 Golf GTI was stripped and converted to full racing specs about ten years ago, raced in EMRRA events, continuously developed, featured in two car magazines, (European Car 12/95 and VW Power 1988 Annual) then completely refurbished and brought to GT-3 spec for this season. Raced in SCCA regional events four times this year. All 4 races are SCCA regional class wins. This one-owner race car has never been in an accident, has no damage, no problems, no DNFs, nothing worn, and is now for sale with a full spares package and ready to win.
