HISTORY / OVERVIEW
The 1996 Volkswagen Golf GT belongs to the third generation of the famous German compact, a series that helped solidify the model's international success thanks to the perfect balance of reliability, build quality, and driving enjoyment. The GT version stands out for its more dynamic character, thanks to a dedicated trim and a drivetrain designed to deliver bright performance.
Today the Golf III is considered one of Volkswagen’s most interesting youngtimers, with growing interest from enthusiasts, particularly for examples faithful to the original configuration.
The example offered in the auction was registered in 1996, finished in the original Black Magic Metallic color. Preserved in its factory configuration, it has recently undergone technical inspection, passed without defects, and is road-legal.
EXTERIOR
The body paint is largely factory-original, as measured by a thickness gauge, showing normal signs of use and aging for a car that has not been restored.
The underbody is generally solid and well-preserved, with no signs of accidents detected.
INTERIOR
The cabin is complete and retains the car’s original configuration. The seats, door panels, and other coverings show signs of use consistent with the age of the car, while the dashboard retains the original standard instrumentation and the rare steering wheel.
The car also features the original factory sunroof.
The headlining has tears (see photos).
Before going on sale, a thorough interior sanitization was also performed.
MECHANICS
The car is running, and the engine has been kept in good order through periodic ignition. It starts easily and runs smoothly. The transmission, clutch, and braking system operate correctly, and gear engagement is regular while driving. The technical inspection was just passed in August 2026, valid until August 2028 with no defects found, confirming the car’s legal roadworthiness. Prior technical inspections have always been passed in 2000, 2008, 2012, 2014, 2016, 2020, 2022, 2024.
As with any historic or youngtimed car, it is advisable to perform a general check and possible preventive maintenance before undertaking long trips.
Thanks to the original configuration, the sought-after Black Magic Metallic color, the factory sunroof, and the valid technical inspection, this Volkswagen Golf GT represents an interesting opportunity for enthusiasts of German youngtimers.
A CARFAX check confirmed the original mileage and the absence of incidents.
The original factory sticker is present.
