1982 Volkswagen Golf GTI (17EG2)
In connoisseurs’ circles, the ‘17EG2’ is the most sought-after GTi, as it is the first generation fitted with the 110 cv 1.6-litre engine, but equipped with a 5-speed gearbox and addressing the teething problems of the ‘17EG1’. The car shown here is one such example and has a crystal-clear history. As confirmed by its order form and purchase invoice, its first owner traded in her Mini Cooper at the Volkswagen dealership in Annemasse to purchase this fine GTi, opting for the white exterior with a fabric interior. Delivered in March 1982, it was lovingly looked after by the family until 2010, driven exclusively by its owner – as confirmed by her grandson, who was forbidden from driving it! Always parked in a dry place and used as a second car, it has clocked up just 67,500 km to date, the mileage history of which is documented in a file of invoices dating back to when it was first registered. Remarkably, the paintwork is original, and only minor stone chips have been touched up, whilst the upholstery is in an admirable state of preservation. From the collection of a discerning car connoisseur, this superb GTi underwent a full service in 2025, including the replacement of the timing belt and Michelin tyres. You will struggle to find a comparable example of the first generation on the market, in such original condition and so well documented – do not let this opportunity pass you by.

The ‘17EG2’ is the most sought-after GTI model amongst enthusiasts, as it is the first generation fitted with the 1.6-litre 110 hp engine, whilst being equipped with a 5-speed gearbox and addressing the teething problems of the ‘17EG1’.
This particular example is one such car and has a clear history. As evidenced by its purchase order and invoice, its first owner traded in her Mini Cooper at the Volkswagen dealership in Annemasse to purchase this fine GTI, opting for the white body colour with a fabric interior. Delivered in March 1982, it was meticulously looked after by the family until 2010, driven exclusively by its owner – as confirmed by her grandson, who was forbidden from driving it! Always kept in a dry place and used as a second car, it now has 67,500 km on the clock, as evidenced by a file of invoices dating back to when it was new. Remarkably, the paintwork remains original (with only minor stone chips that have been touched up), whilst the upholstery is in an admirably well-preserved condition. The current owner, a true car enthusiast, had this superb GTi fully serviced in 2025, including the replacement of the timing belt and Michelin tyres. It would be very difficult to find a comparable example of the first generation on the market, in such original condition and so well documented – don’t let this opportunity slip through your fingers.
