AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
HIGHLIGHTS:
• Rare Volkswagen Golf 1 Cabriolet in the popular Sportline version from the 1993 model year
• Featuring original Sportline details including Recaro sport seats, BBS wheels, sport steering wheel with red insert and red gauge needles
• Powered by the 1.8-liter fuel-injected engine paired with a manual 5-speed gearbox, equipped with power steering and an immobilizer
• Complete with the original working Blaupunkt radio (including radio code and manuals), keys, and valid Dutch APK until 15 June 2028
HISTORY & OVERVIEW:
The Volkswagen Golf 1 Cabriolet, built by coachbuilder Karmann in Osnabrück, is regarded as one of the most recognizable and beloved open-top four-seaters in automotive history. By the end of its production cycle, Volkswagen released special promotional models in the early 1990s, among which the ’Sportline’ in 1993 was one of the most exclusive and valuable top trims. The Sportline was then available only in red or black and stood out with a distinctly sporty equipment package, including Recaro seats, BBS wheels and distinctive striping. This 1993 example has an odometer reading of 230,522 km and comes with a valid Dutch APK inspection until 15-06-2028.
EXTERIOR:
The bodywork shows a neat overall presentation for a 33-year-old classic. The car features the characteristic Sportline stickers on both rear wings and sits on BBS wheels. The convertible roof is in good condition and watertight. The paint shows normal stone chip specks and some small touched-up spots appropriate to its age and mileage.
INTERIOR:
The interior is equipped with the original black headliner and Recaro sport seats. The cabin is also notable for the sport steering wheel with red insert and the red needles in the instrument cluster. The original Blaupunkt radio is still present and fully functional, including the code and manuals. The upholstery and panels are tidy with light signs of use: there are a few small repairs in the fabric, some small holes visible, and a corner of the speaker grille is missing.
ENGINE & TECHNICAL:
The car is powered by a 1.8-liter petrol injection engine, mated to a manual five-speed gearbox. The drivetrain includes power steering and an immobilizer. The engine starts easily and the car runs, shifts, and stops properly. Recent maintenance included oil, spark plugs, and filters being renewed.
DOCUMENTS:
The vehicle possesses a valid Dutch APK inspection (valid until 15-06-2028), the accompanying keys, manuals, and documentation for the Blaupunkt radio including the radio code.
It is recommended to view the vehicle before placing a bid to avoid disappointment. To make an appointment, you can contact Catawiki. The vehicle can be viewed in Schijndel, the Netherlands. Bids are exclusive of transport and export, unless stated otherwise. Arranging transport, ownership transfer, and any export documents/registration costs are the responsibility of the buyer.

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.
