General info
PLEASE NOTE: The premium for this vehicle is 5% of the hammer price. The 1981 VW Golf Diesel is a true classic of the first Golf generation (Golf I) and a symbol of the beginnings of the economical compact car in Germany. General information about the model     Model: VW Golf I Diesel Year of manufacture: 1981 (final phase of the first Golf generation, built from 1974 to 1983) Body style: 3-door sedan (hatchback)           Technical data     Engine: 1.5-liter four-cylinder diesel engine (code letter: JK) Power: 50 hp (37 kW) Torque: approx. 80 Nm at 2,300 rpm Gearbox: 4-speed manual transmission (later also 5-speed) Top speed: approx. 140 km/h 0–100 km/h: about 19–20 seconds Consumption: approx. 5 liters of diesel / 100 km Drive: front-wheel drive Unladen weight: approx. 820 kg           Special features & character     The diesel Golf was one of the first really economical compact car in Europe - a big plus at the time of the oil crisis. No turbocharger - the Golf TD (with turbo, 70 hp) didn't come out until 1982. Despite its low power, the car was light enough to be a good everyday driver. No comparison to today's diesel - loud, sooty, but absolutely robust. Driving experience & everyday life Direct and analogue: no power steering, no electronics - you "feel" the road. Interior: simple, but well thought out. Hard plastic, but functional. Trunk: over 300 liters - decent for the class. The VW Golf Diesel (1981) is a timeless classic that stands for the values of the early Golf era: simple, honest, economical. Today it's a real eye-catcher at classic car meetings, especially in its original condition. Spare parts are still relatively easy to come by, and the car is robust - but not fast or comfortable by today's standards. But it offers pure 80s charm We have the following information for this vehicle: Vehicle registration document HU/AU 2025 H-registration 2019 TÜV parts certificate Lowering Last service: 04/2025 at 152,988 kilometers  The following information regarding the vehicle cannot be guaranteed due to age and history: Mileage (read from the speedometer) Number of previous owners Accident-free status Repainting Origin of the vehicle Errors and prior sale excepted.
