1989 Volkswagen Golf Clipper Cabriolet | Chichester, West Sussex

The Volkswagen Golf Cabriolet is the open-top version of the first-generation Golf, built by Karmann and liked for keeping the compact Mk1 shape long after the hatchback moved on. Late cars carry the Clipper kit of wheel-arch extensions and side skirts, which gives them a distinct late-1980s look. This 1989 car is blue outside and blue inside, a single-colour scheme that reads cleanly on camera. It has an 1800cc engine and is in very good condition. With the hood down, the full Mk1 profile and the people inside are easy to frame. Fashion and editorial shoots, photography and music videos get a colour-matched car with period styling, while film and TV productions set in the late 1980s get a believable car for the scene. A blue Golf also suits a wedding or a day out along the Sussex coast. The car is based in Chichester, West Sussex.
