This exhilarating flagship VW Golf R32 is finished in Black Magic Pearl, (Colour Code LC9Z).

All panels are straight and free from dings and the trim sections and badges are in excellent order aside from the front splitter which has scuffs around the lower edge.

INTERIOR
The Flannel Letter/Alcantara upholstery with R32 embossment, (Code YZ), to the ergonomically crafted König sports seats offer immense comfort and support and are beautifully clean. The huge bolsters are firm and light entry/exit wear to the driver’s outer bolster. Unique and genuine R32 carpet mats remain fitted front and rear in excellent condition. The three spoke leather steering wheel and aluminium pedals with R32 logo and 4Motion gear knob are clues this no ordinary Golf!

The genuine Volkswagen first aid kit remains correctly stored in the boot hatch. An excellent unspoilt interior.

ENGINE & TRANSMISSION
Special features of this first incarnation Golf R32 are the V6 3.2litre engine, 20mm lowered sports suspension and 6-speed 4-Motion transmission with sophisticated all-wheel drive system. In addition, an array of electronic driver aids help to best exploit the awesome power of 240bhp and 320Nm of torque at just 2800rpm! A top speed of 153mph is quoted along with 0-62mph in just 6.6 seconds. The engine bay is very clean and exactly as Volkswagen intended with all factory stickers and plates intact. The slick 6-speed manual short-throw gearbox is perfectly matched to this powerful, sure footed driving machine.

WHEELS, TYRES & BRAKES

Correct specification Michelin Pilot Sport 225/40 ZR18 tyres were fitted in 2016. The distinctive blue callipers clearly visible through the spokes and hint towards the impressive stopping power. Traction and safety with advanced features such as ABS, EBD, ESP and ventilated discs front and rear are in perfect working order.

A folder of paperwork holds service invoices and MOT certificates dating back to the first in 2006 to fully warrant the low 35,029 miles. All handbooks, manuals and point of sale literature are in the special leather R32 document wallet and both remote keys are present.

The car is being offered for sale on a part exchange to clear basis as it does not meet the impeccable KGF Classic Cars standard purely based on mainly the aforementioned imperfections. Altogether a very well-maintained example with low mileage. The car looks and performs brilliantly, wants for nothing and is ready for immediate enjoyment.

HISTORY FILE
This 1970 model year Volkswagen Karmann Ghia was manufactured in January 1970 at the Karmann Coachworks in Osnabruck, Germany, where originally artisans made coaches for European nobility. This prime example was imported from Florida to the UK in August 2021 by a seasoned Volkswagen collector, William Ward. His VW collection incorporates the most iconic and immaculate air-cooled models amassed over decades. Frustrated by the overpriced and poorly restored Type 14 examples in the UK, he eventually managed to source a car directly from the US owner and ex Florida State Prosecutor/Vietnam Veteran, Mr Garringer. He too was a gentleman heavily involved in classic Volkswagen circles and the two formed a mutual bond to enable the car to arrive safely in the UK. A huge file of paperwork from renowned Volkswagen and Karmann Ghia specific specialists show the level of expense required in order to create such a beautifully restored example. An original handbook and period sales brochure is included. Fully UK registered and amongst the finest Karmann Ghia’s available, this example will delight in every respect.

EXTERIOR
This cult-setting Mk1 Volkswagen Golf GTi Campaign Edition boasts ultra-rarity in being finished in factory correct Helios Blue Metallic, (Code LA5Y). Helios Blue was never an official Mk1 Golf colour option but instead was a Mk2 Golf colour, however a handful of run-out later Mk1 Campaign’s were made in Helios Blue. The subject of a meticulous and no expense spared full restoration, the car is simply outstanding and the work even extends to the beautifully restored and detailed underside. Massive expense has been incurred and wherever possible genuine NOS Volkswagen parts have been used including even a genuine Volkswagen aerial grommet fitted if the first owner did not specify a dealer fit radio! Attention to detail is mind-blowing even down to the correct vertical serrated lines in front lamp lens and the lack of rear window matt black surround, correct for only Helios Blue and Black cars. Supplying dealer branded number plates, rear screen sticker and tax discs holder further add to the accuracy of this restoration. Look no more for a prime Helios Blue example.

INTERIOR

A genuine NOS boot carpet and underfoam have been sourced and a Helios Blau Metallic sticker and tyre changing warning sticker remain. Importantly the original build label sticker remains detailing all the correct features this car still displays. A classic retro hot hatch interior.

ENGINE & TRANSMISSION
This desirable car is in tremendous mechanical order and really boasts what Mk1 GTi ownership should be about – marvellous fun and sheer driving pleasure! The 1800cc fuel injected engine produces 112bhp at 5800rpm and 109lbs.ft of torque at 3500rpm, enough to sprint to 60mph in 8.2 seconds and achieve 114mph. The detailed engine bay is pure exhibition standard and spotlessly clean displaying all the correct chassis numbers for a Campaign model. The 5-speed sports gearbox is tight. It is easy to understand how this car started the hot hatch phenomenon.

WHEELS, TYRES & BRAKES
This superb Golf GTi is fitted with the unique, Campaign only, and highly desirable 6J x 14 Pirelli alloy sports wheels with correct larger ‘P’ cut out sections and smaller 7mm gaps. All wheels remain in pristine condition and wear correct and virtually impossible to source Pirelli inscription centre caps that differ to the plain items found on the Mk2 GTi ‘P-Slot’. Correct specification Pirelli P600 185/60 R14 tyres are fitted all round including the spare. The servo-assisted diagonally divided dual-circuit braking system feature front discs and drums to the rear.

HISTORY FILE
Registered with a correct ‘A’ prefix for Campaign models on 20th October 1983 by Volkswagen Main Dealer, Euro Canterbury, this rare Helios Blue example has undergone an incredible program of restoration which has been fully documented with eye watering documented invoices to prove. The standard of craftmanship and attention to detail is exemplary and the two huge history folders portray the cost, time and effort born by previous owner of 11 years who commissioned the project. A true VW enthusiast who purchased one brand new and struggled to find a good one to relive his youth, decided to purchase the very best Helios Blue car and make it brand new! Two immaculately presented history files include masses of receipts, invoices and MOT documentation pertaining to pre and post restoration. The vast expenditure incudes many genuine NOS Volkswagen parts. The original V.A.G Service book pack holds the service book and all handbooks with dealership point of sale literature.

In every respect, this is a stunning example of the highly sought after Mk1 Volkswagen Golf GTi Campaign Edition.

This Type 2 Low Light Dormobile is a genuine factory conversion from new with the original Dormobile Ltd. Folkstone registration plate affixed to the nearside fascia providing authenticity along with the original purchase invoice. Finished in Pastel White, (Code 90D), this remarkable Dormobile wears all factory fitted panels and displays vast areas of original paintwork which is quite incredible. Some professional remedial paintwork has been carried out to an exceptional yet sympathetic level and the overall appearance is truly beautiful. The level of originality that has been preserved is frankly breathtaking and extends to the glass and headlamps all etched with the vehicle registration, all original badges throughout, original number plates, sliding door closing instructions, inner fuel flap labels and factory Dormobile stickers to the rear as well as the Dormobile model D4/6 label to the nearside cab door. The pop-up roof is the original Red/White stripe fitment fully intact with no holes but some age-related fading. A marvellous unspoilt example.

INTERIOR
The perfect compromise between originality and modern functionality. The cab area still boasts factory seats, door cards and floor covering as well as all interior exposed paintwork original with some light aging. Expensive Wolfsburg steering wheel and Empi gear shifter are fitted with the originals retained. Loose fitted hessian floor covering and dash top covers co-ordinate perfectly. The Dormobile registration plate and factory build plates remain fitted as does the paint code label and interior warning labels. The original Blaupunkt radio is fitted but inoperative. The camping area has benefitted from an expensive interior refit from Van Wurks of Oldham as detailed in the above specification. The interior is pristine with zero use and the standard of fitment and installation seamless. Traditional meets modern with full leather seat coverings and traditional style cabinets yet LED lighting and top of the range modern appliances. The original pop-up roof operates effortlessly and the factory supplied children’s hammocks are fully intact.

ENGINE & TRANSMISSION
The four-cylinder flat four air cooled engine with a capacity of 1600cc produces 50 bhp and is a mechanical delight with fastidious maintenance using correct grade oils and quality parts. The engine bay is unrestored with some welcome aging and the chassis and engine numbers are clearly visible to match that of the service booklet confirming matching number credentials. The fully synchronized 4-speed gearbox performs exactly as it should. A clear separation from the majority of modified and bodged examples often seen, this is Type-2 performance at its best!

WHEELS, TYRES & BRAKES
The steel wheels are in pristine condition with the addition of high-quality Wolfsburg chrome hubcaps and outer rings. Matching quality Toyo van-rated 195/75 R14C are fitted all-round. A dual hydraulic brake system incorporating dashboard warning light and front self-adjusting discs operate exactly as Volkswagen intended.

HISTORY FILE
This UK example was registered new on the 1st June 1971 by supplying Volkswagen Main Dealer, Birch’s Garage Ltd in Cambridge. Incredibly just three owners and 53,972 miles from new, this very special Dormobile was a factory conversion from new rather than one which was carried out retrospectively. The first owner, a Mr R.C. Cain Esq, purchased the vehicle and paid £1,401 as evidenced by the original order form, sales invoice and payment docket which remarkably have all been kept! Mr Cain loved the Dormobile for 30 years with strict dry storage and dry day usage was paramount and there is even a detailed maintenance log spanning from 1979 to 2000. On recommendation from a friend and fellow Volkswagen fanatic, the second owner approached Mr Cain in 2001 and agreed a deal to buy the vehicle and found that it was every bit as original and incredible as he as been promised. In the hands of the second owner for 19 years, there has been just one change of keeper since.

A vehicle history file makes for wonderful perusal and includes the service record, handbook and very rare VW diagnostic coupon booklet! A Volkswagen Camper and Commercial magazine feature from 2014 featuring this Dormobile not only covers six pages but is also even the centre fold poster! Without question one of the best Type 2 example in existence and seldomly available to the open market. Buy it while you can.

HISTORY FILE
Registered new on the 27th November 1989 by Volkswagen Main Dealer, Karmann in Barnet, this example is a very early car on a G prefix registration. This Nugget Yellow example has covered just 68,570 miles from new and has been enthusiast owned throughout. In 2010 the car was purchased by Karl Fasulo as he was in the process of launching KGF Classic Cars and the opportunity to buy the car back 13 years later is an emotional experience. Reminiscent of the days when he and his partner Rosie, now wife, would travel the country in the evenings after work to find unique classic cars in order to set up the business, this Corrado holds very special memories. The car was subsequently sold to the Chairman of the VW Corrado Club of Great Britain who owned two other examples. The following and most recent owner was indeed the Founder of the club, so the car has enjoyed very passionate and knowledgeable ownership! Respect and admiration in many Concours D’Elegance judging events is evidenced in the large history file with judging score sheets and there is also magazine and classic car newspaper publications whereby this actual car has been used as the benchmark for buying guides.

The original V.A.G grey document holder contains all the owner’s manuals, instructions pamphlets and dealer literature as well as the service book. The large service history file contains many main dealer invoices and all recent MOT’s have been carried out by VW with accompanying Health Check lists. A video of the latest Health Check confirms by the Master Technician that it is, ‘the best he has ever seen’. The most recent service was carried out using genuine VW parts in May 2023 and the cambelt was changed in July 2023. Two keys are present and a sales brochure. One of the best.

EXTERIOR
This wonderful Microbus began life as an Australian Army bus and was sourced in its original Khaki Green from a dry state and specifically chosen for its superb structural condition. An expensive professional restoration now sees this bus presented in Volkswagen Alpine White over Birch Green. The paintwork boasts a stunning shine with uniform finish, a real eye catcher. The body panels are straight and in excellent condition. The painted bumpers are in superb order and all glass, lights and trim fully intact with just some light pitting to the driver’s door handle. The preserved underside and body have benefitted from a professional coating of preservative and cavity wax injection, a process not to be confused with amateurish undersealing. Having spent the majority of its life in a dry climate with salt free roads, this delightful bus is preserved in superb order.

INTERIOR
An ingenious and hugely practical interior is revealed upon opening the wide front 90-degree cab doors and huge slide loading door. The neatly designed and well thought out passenger compartment will comfortably seat 6 occupants with masses of leg and head room, whilst leaving the large roof high luggage compartment unimpeded. The cabin space offers space for three further occupants making this a hugely versatile 9-seater with seat belts. The seats, door cards, side panels and matching spare wheel cover are trimmed in original Dark Brown Leatherette PVC, (Code 68), which remains in very good order with no rips or damage. The factory build plates remain affixed to the driver’s door shut. The handsome head liner is clean and has a handful of very small holes/slits and the safety padded rear cab wall has some wear. All controls and functions operate well. With plenty of room for friends and family, this is the ultimate recreational classic or basis for a camper conversion.

ENGINE & TRANSMISSION
The 2.0 Type 4 engine as fitted to this example is perfectly suited to the T2 and is highly regarded for its impressive capabilities. The engine fires into life effortlessly and motorway cruising is surprisingly refined and far superior compared to smaller engine models. A vast program of modifications and improvements include, amongst many others; a full engine rebuild by Laurie Pettitt, a well-known engine specialist within VW circles, custom stainless-steel exhaust,123 ignition with electronic distributor and Twin 40 IDF Weber carburettors. The engine performance is superb with a surprising turn of speed and produces approximately 110bhp! The electric power steering conversion is a vast improvement. The clean engine bay reveals no leaks and even has the original Australian military maintenance tags attached to the inside of the engine lid. The fully synchronized 4-speed gearbox operates very well with upgraded Vintage Speed Classic Spot gearshift.

WHEELS, TYRES & BRAKES
Stunning Porsche Fuchs style alloys wheels are virtually unmarked aside from one light abrasion to one spoke on the nearside rear wheel. Matching premium brand Bridgestone Duravis 185/65 R15 show plenty of tread. A dual hydraulic brake system operating front discs operate exactly as Volkswagen intended.

HISTORY FILE
This 1977 example was registered in Australia and used as an army bus. In 2002 the vehicle came to the UK and the name “Eddie” was soon affectionately given to the bus due to the number plate prefix EDE. Previously sold by KGF Classic Cars to a couple who adored the bus so much that they created a YouTube channel for it! The channel, as seen if you click here, shows Eddie embarking on several adventures including various classic car shows whereby much admiration was shown. Wanting to expand the channel and show a range of classic cars, the difficult decision to sell Eddie has been made in order to make way for a more modern classic. A huge history file contains evidence of vast expenditure and details of the modifications to make this a real usable bus. The most recent service was carried out in May 2023. A useful guide and notes to assist the next custodian enjoy ownership immediately with accompanying photos too.

KGF Classic Cars are delighted to have Eddie back ready for adventures with a lucky new keeper.

EXTERIOR
This original low mileage example is a genuine Richard Holdsworth Vision conversion from new and has remained cossetted having covered just 35,633 miles. The beautiful Alpine White paintwork, (Code L90D), boasts a brilliant virtually mark free shine and excellent finish. Only very minor blemishes can be seen upon close inspection and the original decals show slight ageing perfectly acceptable and welcomed. All original panels are straight with uniform gaps and flawless seam lines completely free from corrosion issues, as is the underside. All trim sections, badges and decals to this beautifully preserved example are just as Volkswagen and Richard Holdsworth intended. Supplying dealer number plates and rear badge remain fitted and all the factory glass is number plate etched. The optional awning is in superb order owing to very minimal use and careful storage. A truly amazing retro camper presented in impeccable order.

INTERIOR
Exceptional design and build quality from the renowned conversion experts, Richard Holdsworth, this amazing example has remained precisely as per the build specification. All original fittings, fixtures and upholstery are wonderfully preserved and spotlessly clean. All soft furnishings are of Draylon woven rub-free fabric which remains in fantastic unworn condition. Additional factory quality carpeting to the cab and living area floors as well as leather effect moulds to minimise exposed metal areas complete the luxury appeal. The light ash furniture features genuine plywood and solid beech timber edgings to ensure optimum resilience. Piano brass hinges and catches further emphasise the first class mentality to the Richard Holdsworth product. All spotless cooking and washing facilities are intact and operational but have not been tested for performance or safety by KGF Classic Cars. Further functions and controls operate seamlessly and even the retractable room divider remains fitted! The ultimate mid-size classic camper van guaranteed to delight the most particular motor caravaner.

ENGINE & TRANSMISSION
The water cooled 1915cc petrol engine develops 60bhp at 3700rpm and 140Nm of torque at just 2200rpm. Having covered such low mileage and enjoying enthusiast ownership, the performance is exceptionally quiet and smooth and mechanical operation perfect. The 5 speed manual gearbox offers sturdy yet effortless changes and relaxed 5th gear cruising. Simple mechanics and a huge parts supply network make this a very capable useable classic.

WHEELS, TYRES & BRAKES
Standard 6 J X 14 steel rims are dressed in pristine original VW hubcaps all round and brand-new premium Goodyear 185 R14C reinforced tyres designed for vans were fitted in 2021 with less than 200 miles covered since. Powerful servo assisted brakes stop the vehicle quickly and in a straight line.

HISTORY FILE
Supplied new on 1st August 1990 by Volkswagen Main Dealers, Wolfe Garage of Kent, this superb Richard Holdsworth conversion has been cherished from new with a genuine 35,633 miles and huge supporting history file. Mr Dancy being the first keeper, a new vehicle order form and sales invoice outlines a purchase price of £16,288.33 and the original PDI sheet from Wolfe Garage remains. Throughout long-term family ownership, the vehicle was passed to his wife and then daughter who owned it until 2015. KGF Classic Cars at this point purchased the vehicle from her directly whereby it was sold to a loyal customer and serial car collector who has owned it ever since. Affectionately given the name Doris by his family, there have been leisure trips to the seaside but having now acquired three miniature Sausage Dogs, the decision to let Doris go rather than subject her to the new pack of dogs seems a considerate one! There is even a letter in the history file from the current owner to the next prospective custodian!

The colossal history file is quite simply incredible and thorough perusal would consume hours! All Volkswagen handbooks and guides are in the original V.A.G plastic wallet and the service record displays stamped entries up to August 2021. Absolutely all equipment instructions and guides have been kept to ensure working knowledge of every facility can be upheld. A huge collection of invoices and receipts are accompanied by every MOT certificate from three years old to fully warrant the mileage. Original Richard Holdsworth sales brochures and awning supplement complete the history file for this very special example only with the spare key and even many old tax discs! This example is guaranteed to attract appreciation from enthusiasts and collectors wanting the best on offer.

EXTERIOR
Described by many as the ultimate hatchback this standard MK1 VW Golf GTi is finished in the classic factory Mars Red, (Code LA3A), and maintains a deep uniform shine. The body trim, rubbers, side decals, badges and light lenses are remarkably preserved and sharp. There is a small mark to the nearside front plastic wheel arch trim and bumper barely worthy of a mention. The factory glass has the registration number etched on it and the car still has the original dealer number plates and rear screen sticker. The iconic front grille with the red surround and GTi inscription is free from damage and the square and boxy hot hatch styling from the ’80s is unmissable. Being a non-sunroof model this is a desirable show stopper and a true icon delight.

INTERIOR

All carpeting has been protected by genuine VW rubber floor mats from new and the door cards, black leatherette headlining and dash trim is in excellent condition. The iconic golf ball gear knob, four spoke sports steering wheel and classic clear instrumentation all add to the tingle of excitement.

ENGINE & TRANSMISSION
This cult-setting car is in excellent mechanical order and really boasts what early GTi ownership should be about – tremendous fun! The 1780cc engine produces 112bhp at 5800rpm enough to sprint to 60mph in 8.2 seconds and on to a top speed of 114mph. It really drives perfectly with a distinctive, addictive exhaust note. The engine bay is beautifully original and spotlessly clean with the delicate bulkhead plastic intact with no cracks, Danger sticker to the bonnet underside attached and VIN plate secure to the slam panel. The 5 speed sports gearbox is precise and a joy to use. This hot hatch is exactly how the manufacturer intended.

WHEELS, TYRES & BRAKES
This superb Golf GTi is fitted with unmarked Tarantula alloy wheels with clear stampings visible and shod in premium Pirelli Cinturato P4 tyres measuring 175/70 R13 tyres all round with ample tread. Fitted with the large servo-assisted diagonally divided dual-circuit braking system with ventilated discs up front and drums at rear, they do an adequate job of stopping the car but fall short of modern braking systems.
