In Brief:

• Great example of a GT trim 2nd gen Scirocco
• Finished in White over a cloth interior
• Owned by The Vendor for the last 2 years
• MOT’s dating from 2012 back to 1990
• Showing 52,365 miles on the odometer – believed to be correct

Auctioneer's Notes:

A well-presented 1986 Volkswagen Scirocco, showing just under 60,000 miles and accompanied by a recent MOT certificate valid until June 2027 with no advisories. The Vendor reports that the bodywork is in good condition and that a considerable amount of mechanical work has been carried out over the last two years, making this an appealing example of Volkswagen’s sharp-edged 1980s coupé.

Maintenance & Condition:

Reported recent works include new front brake discs and pads, rear wheel cylinders and wheel bearings, replacement brake hoses, a new timing belt and tensioner, replacement clutch and a set of four new tyres. While this work is not fully documented by invoices, the car is said by the Vendor to have benefited from meaningful upkeep in recent ownership. The current MOT certificate, valid until June 2027, records no advisories and supports the car’s low indicated mileage.

History:

The history file includes an excellent run of old-style MOT certificates dating from 1990 through to 2005, with further MOT documentation present up to the current certificate, although not every year is included. There are also invoices on file relating to general maintenance, adding to the supporting paperwork available with the car.

The Model:

The second-generation Volkswagen Scirocco is one of the defining sporting coupés of the 1980s, combining crisp, angular styling with proven Volkswagen mechanicals. Sharing much of its engineering DNA with the Mk1 Golf GTI, the Scirocco offered an engaging, analogue driving experience in a more distinctive, wedge-shaped body. By 1986, the model had become a well-established favourite, admired for its neat handling, practical hatchback layout and unmistakably period styling.

Sale Insight:

With low indicated mileage, a long MOT with no advisories and a history file containing early MOT certificates back to 1990, this Scirocco presents as a tempting modern classic. The reported recent mechanical work further adds to its appeal, although prospective buyers should note that not all works are supported by invoices and should satisfy themselves accordingly. An increasingly sought-after 1980s Volkswagen coupé with strong usability and period character.
