1992 Volkswagen Scirocco GT II

Remarks

The car presents very well, the paintwork displaying much of its original showroom sparkle. I have found no evidence of accident repairs, and believe 99% of the paintwork to be original. As you might expect, the car has picked up various stone chips and small scratches, mostly carefully touched in

Remarks

The overall condition of the interior is impressive. I have replaced the untidy 3-point static rear seat belts with the VW 3-point inertia reel belts fitted to late Sciroccos in Germany

Remarks

Well-presented, with a level of patina consistent with age and mileage. Starts, runs, and performs as it should. During my ownership, I have carried out normal service work such as oil and filter changes, spark plugs renewal, and ignition timing, idle speed and fuel mixture adjustments. I have renewed the timing and auxiliary belts, overhauled the carburettor warm-up systems, which included fitting a new wax stat, renewed the carburettor mounting flange, the rocker cover gasket, and the rear exhaust box, thoroughly flushed and renewed the coolant, and renewed the bonnet lining

Remarks

Operating as it should, with smooth progression and power delivery through all 5 gears and reverse

Remarks

As might be expected, many original underbody components have developed a degree of surface corrosion, not affecting function. In addition to routine brake fluid changes, I have renewed numerous braking system components, including wheel cylinders, brake shoes, caliper sliders, brake hoses and outer brake pipes. While doing this, I took the opportunity to also renew the rear suspension springs. I have upgraded the original steel wheels and Michelin MXV2 tyres with a set of refurbished VW “Montreal” alloy wheels, along with VW anti-theft wheel bolts and Semperit Comfort Life 2 tyres

Remarks

All functioning as intended, in their original unadulterated state. I have replaced the dealer-fitted Panasonic radio/cassette with a VW Gamma 3 unit of the correct model year, the top of the range option on late Sciroccos in Germany. I have also recently renewed the car battery

Remarks

The V5 and V5C show that the car was first registered in the first owner’s husband’s name, then later transferred to her name, pending their subsequent divorce. This means the car is currently in its second ownership with its third registered keeper. As well as the original finance documents, the car comes with its service schedule booklet with 12 service stamps, numerous more recent spare parts invoices, and a detailed “birth certificate” and accompanying data sheet from VW in Germany, confirming the dates and places of manufacture and sale, and the car’s original delivery specification. Also of historical interest is a copy of an article published in the local press following the car’s original handover, reporting it to be the last Scirocco sold in the UK
