EXTERIOR
Strikingly boring and practical but now deliciously retro, this flagship VW Golf Estate looks amazing finished in cost optional Bright Green Pearl Effect, (Code LC6M). The deep lacquered factory paint finish is unmarked and being continually garaged stored from new and under soft Egyptian cotton sheets when not in use, the finish is simply outstanding. Genuine VW accessories such as the headlamp protectors and mudflaps remain fitted as do supplying dealer number plates. All trim is pristine including the GL specification colour coded side rubbing strips. All flush fitting glass has VW logos and the light clusters are crystal clear. Precise fitting body panels are free from marks, dings, scuffs and blebs. It is difficult to comprehend how a typically hardworking and load carrying workhorse can be so pristine!

INTERIOR
Boasting the highest specification level, this Golf Estate GL is luxuriously trimmed throughout with the supportive seats upholstered in unmarked Beige Point Velour, (Code DQ). Such was the owners fanatical dedication, soft tailored material is placed over the driver and passenger seats, (still included), and rubber mats protect the genuine VW carpet mats! All easy reach controls, clear instrumentation and digital displays work perfectly thanks to over engineered VW quality and touch points are clean and unworn. The door cards and roof lining are immaculate but what is truly breathtaking is the spacious 50.3 cubic ft luggage area and how ‘new car’ everything appears! Thanks to numerous sheets and mats covering all areas, the boot area is unmarked. Lifting the boot floor reveals an unused tool bag, jack and Option Code sticker. A concours contestant in the making!

ENGINE & TRANSMISSION
Fitted with the largest and most powerful engine in the Golf Estate range, the in-line transversely mounted 1984cc unit produces 115bhp to allow a top speed of 118mph and 0-62mph in 12.3secs. Extensive service records ensure optimal running and the presentation of the engine bay is very clean, still with factory wax on components. The previous owners stickers are still visible with dates and mileages of fluid changes! The manual 5-speed gearbox benefits from renewed bushes to allow precise, smooth changes.

WHEELS, TYRES & BRAKES
6J x14 steel wheels are fitted with GL plastic embellishers, one of which has some tiny touched-in marks, shod in premium matching Bridgestone Turanza 195/60 R14 tyres with ample tread. The factory spare remains unused with chalk banding visible. The owner gave instructions not to remove the unused spare to MOT Testers if possible! The diagonally split, servo assisted brakes with load sensitive pressure regulator stop the car quickly.

HISTORY FILE
Be prepared to be amazed! Registered new to the supplying dealer O.G Barnard & Sons Ltd in Stowmarket on the 5th November 1999 and sold as an Approved Volkswagen on the 5th May 2000 to Mr P Woodward for £12,655. The vehicle remained in his care until May 2022 whereby upon his passing his son took ownership. A trained Accountant by profession, his bookkeeping spanning the life of the car makes impressive reading. Every penny is accounted for and meticulously catalogued from regular servicing expenditure to annual road tax spend. MOT spreadsheets and detailed notes written for the garage on what work must be carried out are all chronologically neatly filed and divided into subsections. All paperwork from the initial Used Car Order, Purchase Invoice and maintenance invoices are present. A full complement of handbooks is contained in the black leather VW folder including a fully stamped service book. Every MOT certificate and tax disc is present and even the original Approved VW window POS display is included! A full complement of spare keys and plastic tags on supplying dealer key fobs are present. Astonishing in every aspect and a true Festival of the Unexceptional and retro classic entrant!
