1988 VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT

We are really pleased to offer this exceptionally rare 1988 Volkswagen Passat B2 GL5 Hatchback

A rare car these days believed to be one only a handful remaining on the road and to be presented in this condition is quite something. Most being the estate version.

Very likely the only one for sale currently and this car is purported to be the VW press car used for the launch of the new gen Passat.

A full history car with only 69k miles and full book pack.

Lots of maintenance works, all itemised across 4 pages in the history file carried out with its most recent owner since 2021......such as fully serviced, transmission fluid, timing belt & water pump, brakes, brake pipes, brake flexi, wheel bearing, coolant refresh, cold start fuel valve etc etc.....no expense spared. Front discs and pads would benefit from replacement and can be discussed on sale.

Inside is immaculate, with its squared-off dashboard and four-spoke wheel with four horn buttons, it resembles a kind of upmarket Mk1 Golf GTI. With a 2-litre, five-cylinder engine under the bonnet, the Passat GL5 almost certainly makes a better noise than a GTI, and with 115bhp to call upon and a kerbweight of under 1100kg, youd likely get a taster, if not the full course, of GTI-style performance (officially, 60mph comes up in 10.5sec from rest).

Being the GL5 model it is a well spec'd car, 4 x electric windows, central locking, headlight washers, tilt and slide sunroof, steel wheels, electric Ariel, power steering and front fogs.

Blaupunkt Bluetooth radio upgrade, sits perfectly within the interior.

Tax / Mot exempt in just 3 years.

MOT to Oct 25

Full dealer facilities available.
