1991 Volkswagen GTI Mk2

This 1991 Volkswagen Golf GTI 16V is a Canadian-market example that was first delivered to Speedway Motors Limited in Victoria, British Columbia, and it was acquired by the current owner in 2021. The car is finished in Tornado Red over gray cloth upholstery and powered by a 16-valve 2.0L inline-four mated to a five-speed manual transaxle. Equipment includes 15″ BBS RM wheels, front and rear spoilers, fog lights, a sunroof, a Piper exhaust system, Recaro front seats, a Bluetooth-capable Clarion stereo, and Bilstein shocks and lowering springs. The car is said to have been refurbished between 2012 and 2021, and the timing belt was replaced in July 2021. This MK2 Golf GTI 16V is offered on dealer consignment in Canada with service records, owner’s manuals, Carfax reports, and Ontario registration. The seller states that during prior ownership the glass and seals were removed before the body was refinished in its factory color of Tornado Red (LY3D). Equipment includes front and rear spoilers, quad headlights, a sunroof, black body trim, wheel-arch flares, fog lights, and a rear wiper. A blemish on the left-front wheel-arch trim is highlighted in the gallery below. The provided Carfax Canada report notes collision entries in 1993 and 1998, a vandalism entry in 1994, glass breakage in January 1995, and “theft from auto” in May 1995. The seller reports that the 15″ BBS RM wheels were disassembled and refinished during previous ownership, and one wheel was refinished in January 2021 and both front wheels were resealed in August 2021. The wheels are noted to be bent on a service record from January 2021, and they are mounted with Falken Ziex ZE950 tires. Bilstein shocks and lowering springs are fitted, and the tie rod ends and a steering rack boot were replaced in March 2021. Braking is handled by four-wheel discs. The Recaro front sport seats are trimmed in gray cloth with patterned inserts, and matching upholstery covers the rear seats. The black carpets are protected by color-coordinated floor mats with red edging, and additional equipment includes a heater and a Bluetooth-capable Clarion stereo. The right window regulator was replaced in July 2021. The leather-wrapped steering wheel fronts instrumentation including a 260-km/h speedometer, a 7k-rpm tachometer, and gauges displaying fuel level and coolant temperature. The six-digit odometer shows just under 121k kilometers (~75k miles), and the true mileage is unknown. A new speedometer cable was fitted in July 2021. The 2.0-liter DOHC 16-valve inline-four was factory rated for 134 horsepower and 133 lb-ft of torque. Work in 2012 included removing the engine for disassembly, honing the cylinders, polishing the crankshaft, and replacing the pistons, bearings, mounts, seals, and gaskets. The timing belt and accessory belts were replaced by Pfaff Tuning in Vaughan, Ontario in June 2021, and work in August 2021 included replacing the ignition switch, coolant, and cooling fan. Power is sent to the front wheels through a five-speed manual transaxle, and the clutch components were replaced at the time the engine was rebuilt. A Piper exhaust system has been added, and additional photos of the underside are provided in the image gallery. The owner’s manual notes a warranty start date of October 5, 1991, factory colors and options, and delivery to Speedway Motors Limited in Victoria, British Columbia. Owner’s manuals and service records are also included in the sale. The Carfax report is free of accidents or other damage and lists history and registrations in British Columbia and Ontario from its first entry in 1994. Mileage inconsistency notices are noted in March 2017 and July 2021. The provided Carfax Canada report notes collision entries in 1993 and 1998, vandalism in 1994, glass breakage in January 1995, and theft in May 1995. Filed under: vw
