Beautiful brown is not ugly
With the frost still on the roofs, you might be thinking about wonderful spring days. Otherwise we do. We are already anticipating warmer times by presenting you a convertible that can make the coming spring a lot more fun.
Winter has yet to begin, but this could be the time to buy a convertible. After all, there is not much demand for it right now and that can strengthen your negotiating position. Perhaps this 1983 Volkswagen Golf Cabriolet is worth a look and a negotiation. With an asking price of €8,750, it is a bit on the high side, although it must be said that you will not easily find an open Golf of that age with such an appearance.
The Volkswagen Golf Cabriolet of the first generation was for years a popular (first) car for young people who otherwise often had a somewhat questionable taste. There is no shortage of such Golfs with screw sets, angry viewers and aftermarket wheels. However, this Golf still looks wonderfully modest. Its brown paint may have helped keep young enthusiasts away. After all, it is not the smoothest Golf Cabriolet to see, only for that reason perhaps one of the most charming. Just a nice unpretentious thing.
Unpretentious is the word that fits the engine inside. This Golf has a fairly archaic 1.5 carburetor in its nose. A 70 hp eight-valve, which is also linked to a four-speed manual gearbox. Other times. It gives him a 0-100 km / h sprint time of 16.8 seconds and a top speed of 140 km / h. So you shouldn’t be in a hurry, but hey, there’s no reason at all for a quiet tour in good weather. There are a lot of newers and floats for sale for the money and that may make it difficult to quickly find an owner for this classic. So again, grab your chance in winter and who knows, maybe something is possible with the price.
