1986 VW Passat GL5 Estate - Mint Condition SOLD

1986 VW Passat GL5 estate. 1986 (April) C reg. Tornado Red with Black / White Dot stripe velour. 102, 000 miles with complete service records and will be MOT'd for sale.

The car was purchased by a garage owner brand new as his retirement present to himself. I'm told that he also bought a Daimler at the same time for special occasions. He kept both until he went info a care home in 2009, whereupon his son-in-law took over the ownership of the VW as the Daimler has been lost to an electrical fire.

The car has won several shows under his care and is completely original with the exception of a replacement CD/ radio. The original is provided (not working) along with the roof bars for the roof rails (unused). Luckily he was very fussy and loved the car as much as his father-in-law.

The body is in exceptional order with one of two marks or chips that would need to be illustrated to be found. The interior is similarly immaculate with no fading or sagging typical of older cloth upholstery or cracks to dash etc. Everything works. I bought the car over the phone and am incredibly fussy. I was delighted when I collected it.

The GL5 has the 115 bhp 2. 0 five cylinder fuel injected engine that was commonly used in other upmarket VW./ Audi models at the time. It is superbly smooth and quiet.

I bought this car in the summer of last year intending to use it once a week or so. I have subsequently bought another car and have been 'instructed' that one of the burgeoning collection has to go! I have also run out of garage space and don't want this on the driveway in the open.

I bought it as my best friends's mother had one when we were kids and I always loved it. There are 23 left and I know I will never own another. It always get smiles from people of a certain age who remember them from the 1980s. I am asking what I paid for it so I'm afraid I'm not open to any sort of offer. I am certain there isn't a better one left!
