Description from the seller
UP FOR AUCTION
- Equipped with Federperiti Compliance Guarantee Expertise
- Original GT version
- Mostly original paint
- Clean Carfax with no accidents
- Technical inspection valid until August 2028
- In the original Black Magic Metallic color
- Factory-installed sunroof
HISTORY / OVERVIEW
The 1996 Volkswagen Golf GT belongs to the third generation of the famous German compact, a line that helped solidify the model’s international success thanks to the perfect balance between reliability, build quality, and driving pleasure. The GT version stands out for its more dynamic character, thanks to a dedicated trim and a drivetrain designed to offer 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 car offered at auction was registered in 1996, finished in the original Black Magic Metallic color. Preserved in its factory configuration, it has recently undergone a technical check, passed without defects, and is road-legal.
EXTERIOR
The body paint is largely factory-original, as measured by a thickness gauge, with normal signs of use and aging for an un restored vehicle.
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 car’s age, while the dashboard retains the original standard instrumentation and the rare steering wheel.
The car is also equipped with the original sunroof.
The headliner shows tears (see photos).
Before being put up for sale, a thorough interior sanitization was also carried out.
MECHANICS
The car runs and the engine has been kept in working order through periodic starts. It starts easily and runs smoothly. The gearbox, clutch, and braking system operate correctly, while gear engagement is smooth during driving. The technical inspection was just passed in August 2026, valid until August 2028 with no defects detected, confirming the vehicle’s legal roadworthiness. Previous technical inspections were passed in 2000, 2008, 2012, 2014, 2016, 2020, 2022, 2024.
As with any classic or youngtimer, before undertaking long trips 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 current technical inspection, this Volkswagen Golf GT represents an interesting opportunity for fans of German youngtimers.
A CARFAX check confirmed the original mileage and the absence of accidents.
The factory-original sticker is present.

Catawiki always aims to offer you the best possible buying experience. Our experts virtually review and select every vehicle in line with our submission guidelines and we require our sellers to provide the most accurate description of the vehicle. However, providing a fully detailed analysis of the vehicle is extremely difficult, and close to impossible. To guide you, we ask our sellers to provide information about the vehicle’s condition. Please consider that most vehicles for sale are classic vehicles and they often already have a whole life behind them, meaning that even a condition 1 or 2 vehicle might need maintenance to be ready for the road. It is advised to carefully read our submission guidelines that further describe details about the condition grades and types to manage your expectations. Cars are sold “as is”, meaning as described and in the condition they are in at the time of the sale and without any representation, warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to the condition by Catawiki or by the seller. The condition of this item is the opinion of the seller and may differ from yours, your local garage, or the dealer’s opinion. This does not automatically mean the car does not conform to its description. Before bidding, please check your local legislation regarding vehicle registration. Neither the seller nor Catawiki is responsible for the registration of the vehicle in your country and will not accept a cancellation for your failure to register the vehicle. We also recommend that, if possible, you arrange a viewing with the seller before placing a bid.
