1989 Volkswagen Golf Cabriolet 1.6
Chassis: WVWZZZ15ZKK025736
French registration document pending
- 55,600 km on the clock
- Rare colour combination
- Legendary convertible
In the 1970s, Volkswagen began looking for a replacement for the Beetle convertible. The brand decided to develop a convertible version based on its new compact saloon, the Golf. Launched in 1979, the Golf Cabriolet was designed and assembled by the coachbuilder Karmann. The model enjoyed sustained commercial success, to the extent that production continued until 1994, eleven years after the first-generation Golf saloon had been discontinued. In 1987, the convertible underwent a facelift, notably featuring ‘Quartet’-style wraparound bumpers, designed to modernise its lines and bring its appearance closer to that of the contemporary Golf II.
The example shown is a convertible fitted with the 1.6-litre engine, first registered in 1989. It features a silver bodywork, combined with grey fabric upholstery and a green soft top, and is fitted with Pirelli-style alloy wheels. Imported into Belgium in 2015, this car now has a mileage of just over 55,000 kilometres, which is consistent with the car’s overall condition.
This 1989 Volkswagen Golf I Cabriolet stands out for its well-preserved original specification, combining a silver body, a green soft top and specific Pirelli-style alloy wheels. Originating from Belgium, where it has been since 2015, it has only 55,000 km on the clock, making it a fine example of Karmann production from that era.
