Volkswagen - Golf II Country 1.8 Syncro - 1990

GENERAL This is a very well-kept Volkswagen Golf Country Syncro that presents a fantastic opportunity for collectors and classic car enthusiasts alike. Considered by many as a pioneer of the modern SUV from the past, this special Golf II offers a comfortable high-entry seating position, a factory four-wheel-drive system, and a generous ground clearance that makes it surprisingly capable in rugged terrain. Originally delivered new to the Netherlands, the vehicle remained there until 2017 when it was imported to Denmark and acquired by a passionate classic car collector who drove it very sparingly. All in all, this is a remarkable example for anyone looking for a second-generation Golf that truly stands out from the crowd. Because this exclusive model was only produced between 1990 and 1991 with a limited production run of just 7,735 examples, it possesses an excellent future investment potential. BODYWORK & PAINTWORK The exterior of this rugged hatchback looks stunning, finished in its iconic and glossy green metallic paintwork. The body is structurally sound, and the car only shows a few minor cosmetic blemishes which have been honestly and clearly documented in the accompanying photograph portfolio. The distinct, factory-raised ride height gives this vehicle an unmistakable stance on the road, while the robust undercarriage, wheels, and model-specific exterior trim pieces remain in a very honest and well-preserved condition. TECHNICAL Mechanically, the proven Syncro four-wheel-drive system and powertrain are operational and ready to perform. The vehicle has just successfully passed and been approved by the Danish TüV inspection in May 2026, testifying to its roadworthiness. The extensive service history can be reviewed in detail in the provided photographs. The last major service was performed only about 500 kilometers ago, though this was several years ago due to the car being part of a stationary collection. Therefore, the next owner should expect to perform a fresh routine service and fluid change before putting the car back into regular, daily use. INTERIOR The cabin is in very good condition throughout and has been kept remarkably clean over the years. The upholstery, seats, and trim show no signs of spots or wear, and the interior is entirely free from any odors or damages related to smoke or pets. On the electronic side, all the dashboard instruments function exactly as they should, with no pixel failures present in the digital display, and the heating system blows correctly. Since many of the secondary features on this classic are manual, the risk of electrical issues is safely minimized. The fitted radio powers on as intended, though it currently produces no sound through the loudspeakers, which may require a simple speaker wire or connection check. DOCUMENTS The vehicle is backed by a solid European history, originating from the Netherlands and currently holding valid Danish registration paperwork. The file includes documented proof of its historical service history as shown in the pictures, alongside the most recent, clean TüV inspection certificate from May 2026, allowing for a straightforward registration process in its next destination. PICK-UP The vehicle is sold in its current, collector-kept condition, and the buyer will be responsible for the logistics and arrangements regarding its pick-up and transport. Detailed collection logistics can be easily scheduled in direct, post-auction coordination with the seller. OTHER INFORMATION This rare Volkswagen Golf Country Syncro perfectly combines classic German reliability with quirky, off-road styling that is highly celebrated in today's youngtimer community. Prospective bidders are invited to carefully review all the uploaded photos, which form an important part of the vehicle's description, showcasing its service history stamps, interior cleanliness, and minor cosmetic blemishes. It is a rare, turn-key, and freshly inspected piece of Volkswagen history that is ready to be admired by its next custodian.
