Best of Both Collection – Golf GTi & Golf R

If winning 2 cars is a bit too much, don’t worry, this competition has a cash alternative. Here’s your options:

• Take both cars – that’s the 1988 Volkswagen Golf GTi and the 2016 Volkswagen Golf R
• Take the 1988 Volkswagen Golf GTi and £12,000
• Take the 2016 Volkswagen Golf R and £6,000

1988 Volkswagen Golf GTi

Our 1988 Volkswagen Golf GTi Mk2 is a highly original example of one of the most iconic hot hatches of the 1980s. Finished in Oak Green Metallic with Grey cloth upholstery featuring multi-coloured stripes, it was first registered on April 18th, 1988, and has had just three former keepers, with one of them keeping the car for more than 30 years

It has done 66,000 miles from new and has period-correct gold-centred OZ Racing alloy wheels, fitted with four fresh Uniroyal tyres with just 400 miles completed since.

Recent maintenance includes a new timing belt, water pump, front struts, and suspension arm, as well as a full service. It passed its most recent MOT on April 1st, 2025, with no advisories

This particular example benefits from the subtle but distinctive facelift applied to the 1988 model, including the five-slat grille and deleted front quarterlights.

2016 Volkswagen Golf R

Our 2016 Volkswagen Golf R was first registered on 7th January 2016 and is a well-specified, high-performance example. It has Volkswagen’s 4MOTION all-wheel-drive system and DSG automatic gearbox with paddle shift.

This example benefits from an impressive factory specification, including:

Radar Adaptive Cruise Control, Park Pilot, Privacy Glass, Keyless Entry with Reverse Camera, Heated Seats, Panoramic Sunroof with Remote Closing Function, Satellite Navigation, Collision Avoidance & Driver Assistance Package, 19-inch Polished Cadiz Alloy Wheels, DYNAUDIO DSP Speaker System with Subwoofer, Automatic Headlights, and Rain-Sensing Wipers.

• Both cars will be won by one lucky winner
• Modern and classic
• History files with both cars
• Well-cared-for models
• Bridge Classic Cars pre-delivery inspection

This car can be run on synthetic fuel as well as traditional petrol.

As part of our commitment to sustainability, we run all of our competition cars on synthetic fuel. This is a like-for-like fossil-free alternative to petrol that reduces emissions by up to 80%. This can be mixed with traditional petrol and no modifications to the car are required. You can fuel this car with traditional petrol – we simply use synthetic fuel as part of our sustainability goals.
