STORY / OVERVIEW
The 1996 Volkswagen Golf GT belongs to the third generation of the renowned German hatch, a model line that helped solidify international success thanks to the perfect balance of reliability, build quality, and driving pleasure. The GT version stands out for its more dynamic character, thanks to a dedicated trim and a mechanical setup designed to deliver bright performance.
Today, the Golf III is regarded as one of the most interesting Volkswagen youngtimers, with growing interest from enthusiasts, particularly for examples faithful to the original configuration.
The example offered at auction was registered in 1996, finished in the original Black Magic Metallic. Preserved in its factory configuration, it has recently undergone a technical inspection, passed without defects, and is road-legal.
EXTERIOR
The body paint is largely factory-original, as measured by a combometer, with normal signs of use and weathering for a car that has not been restored.
The underbody is generally solid and well-preserved with no signs of crashes detected.
INTERIOR
The cockpit is complete and retains the car’s original configuration. The seats, door panels, and other coverings show signs of use compatible with the car’s age, while the dashboard retains the original standard instrumentation and the rare steering wheel.
The car also features the original sunroof.
The headliner shows tears (see photo).
Before going on sale, a thorough interior sanitization was also performed.
MECHANICS
The car is running and the engine has been kept in good working order through periodic start-ups. It starts easily and runs smoothly. The gearbox, clutch, and braking system operate correctly, and gear engagements are regular during driving. The technical inspection has just been passed in August 2026, valid until August 2028 with no defects found, confirming the vehicle’s road legality. Previous technical checks have always been passed in 2000, 2008, 2012, 2014, 2016, 2020, 2022, 2024.
As with any classic or youngtimer car, before embarking on long journeys it is advisable to perform a general check and possible preventive maintenance.
Thanks to the original configuration, the sought-after Black Magic Metallic color, the factory sunroof, and the valid current technical inspection, this Volkswagen Golf GT represents an appealing opportunity for German youngtimer enthusiasts.
A CARFAX check confirmed the original mileage and the absence of accidents.
The factory original sticker is present.
