VW GOLF 1L

VW

Car No. 80

1974

Motor: 1,3 l

Word of mouth among my friends living in the southern part of Denmark informed me about this one-owner car for sale. The owner lived on a farm located in the middle of nowhere – at least this was my feeling when I went there to do a visual inspection trying to buy the car.

What I liked about this car was that it was a one-owner car, and he still had the original sale contract from 1974. He had kept the car so well – he didn’t drive it in rainy weather and during the winter period it was kept in a heated garage. The car was a real “time bomb” where you felt like being brought back to the mid 70’s.

The only thing I changed on the car was the upholstery as this was too old and somehow worn out. However, I managed to find the same original colour and pattern. Although in the mid 70’s a fresh Rally green colour code was quite normal as you had yellow, red, blue, and green as typical colours for cars in these flashy years.
