1991 Volkswagen Golf | Manchester

A 1991 Volkswagen Golf Mk2, the second-generation hatchback that took What Car? Car of the Year in 1985. It grew a little over the Mk1 but kept the same neat hatchback proportions. People like it for its square-cut shape and crisp, uncluttered lines. This car is finished in red, a colour that suits its year, with a grey interior that is well kept and in very good condition overall. The bright paintwork against the plain cabin gives a clean, graphic look in photographs. It seats four. Film and television productions set around 1990 get a Golf of exactly the right year, in a colour that reads well on screen. Fashion photography and editorial shoots can use its square-cut shape and bright red as a simple, strong backdrop. At brand activations it can stand on display as set dressing or arrive under its own power. Weddings and anniversaries suit a couple wanting a relaxed, retro car. The car is based in Manchester.
