With a total production run of only 71 units, G60 Limited do not come up for sale often. This particular example seen just one registered UK owner since it arrived in the UK from Germany in 2007. Official correspondence from VW confirms the car was built in Wolfsburg in the Spring of 1989. With little over 67k miles (108,921km) under its belt, this very special Mk2 Golf – a Bonafide G60 Limited (No. 16 of 71) – presents a unique opportunity for one lucky individual to acquire one of the rarest and most sought-after VWs in the world today.

MODEL HISTORY

Conceived by VW’s Motorsport division and built largely by hand, the G60 Limited was based on the five-door Golf Syncro with its viscous-coupled four-wheel drive system. To this was added ABS, power steering, electric windows, central locking, a steel sunroof, heated front seats, a full leather interior and an on-board computer. At the time of its conception German tuners had already begun to exploit the latent potential of the G60 engine, offering conversions ranging from 180bhp to 200bhp for the Corrado and Rallye Golf. However, VW Motorsport went one better right from the start by applying the G60 supercharger to the 16-valve rather than the eight-valve engine. The result was 210bhp at 6,500rpm and 1861b/ft of torque at 5,000rpm with an 8.8:1 compression ratio and the supercharger providing 23psi of boost.

The Golf G60 Limited was the fastest production road car to have left any VW plant destined for a private customer and, like most of the projects that emanated from VW Motorsport, it was the brainchild of Klaus-Peter Rosorius; “The idea was to have a nice, elegant-looking production Golf without external modifications but lots of fascination under the bonnet”. A total of just 71 units were produced making the G60 Limited one of the rarest and most sought-after VWs in the world today.

EQUIPMENT

Graphite Grey Metallic paintwork, Black Nappa leather upholstery, 15-inch BBS RM split-rim alloy wheels, Motorsport grille with blue surround, Motorsport badges front and rear, Single headlights, Heated front seats, Leather-trimmed steering wheel, Motorsport leather gear knob, Leather door cards, Sunroof, Electric windows all round, Electric door mirrors, On-board computer, Syncro AWD, ABS, PAS, VW carpet mats, Cassette holder, MPH speedometer (odometer in km/h) Remote central locking, Immobiliser.

EXTERIOR

Beautifully finished in a lustrous coat of Graphite Grey Metallic this incredibly rare G60 Limited (no. 16 of only 71) looks fantastic against our studio backdrop – and it certainly doesn’t disappoint up close. Having been fully refreshed to a very high standard a few years back the paintwork presents amazingly well with a deep and uniform shine across every panel. The car is arrow-straight along both sides and at the front end there’s barely a stone chip in sight. All the bumpers, trims and plastics appear in excellent original condition with a perfect texture having never been painted or poorly restored. Finer details such as the seals, rubbers, and badges also appear very fresh, again the only negative here being a few small chips to the Motorsport grille badge. The underside also remains in fine fettle having been professionally cleaned and treated last year to preserve its excellent condition.

INTERIOR

The interior space is a great place to be with pristine leather upholstery and a number of creature comforts including heated sports seats, electric mirrors, and electric windows all round. Back in 2019 the seats were fully retrimmed in the correct OE-spec Nappa leather and, having seen only very light use since then, they remain in perfect unworn condition. Leather trim extends to the door cards, handbrake lever, gear knob and steering wheel, all presenting in very good original order with only a few minor marks and signs of use to report, namely to the gear knob and around the edge of the wheel. In the footwells the black carpets are all spotless, unfaded, and protected by a complete set of VW over mats. The headlining is also perfect with no marks or sagging to note, and in the boot, you’ll still find the VW first aid kit and an undamaged parcel shelf with no unsightly speaker holes having ever been cut. An excellent interior overall with just the right level of patina.

From 22-years ownership with just 34,800 miles and subject to considerable recent expenditure, No. 0619 is a superb example of these legendary super saloons.

DESCRIPTION
One of the most headline-grabbing models of recent years, the Lotus-developed Opel Omega/Vauxhall Carlton caused a storm of controversy when it was revealed that this four-door production saloon could touch 175mph (282km/h), a performance bettered by only a handful of exotic supercars.

Lotus’ then owners, General Motors, had conceived the project as a means of creating a high-performance flagship for its European marques, Opel’s Omega with its 24-valve, 3.0-litre straight-six engine being chosen as the basis. Enlarged to 3.6-litres and equipped with twin Garrett turbochargers, the engine produced 377bhp and 419lb/ft of torque. A 6-speed gearbox from the Chevrolet Corvette ZR-1, limited-slip differential, racing suspension, ventilated disc brakes, and improved aerodynamics ensured that the car’s enormous potential could be safely controlled. The cars were assembled by hand at the Lotus factory in Hethel and all were finished in Imperial Dark Green with an Anthracite leather interior. Only 950 examples were constructed between 1990 and 1992, 284 Lotus and 666 wearing the Omega badge with 415 of these destined for the German home market.

This lovely example, No. 0619, is indeed one of those left-hand drive, German-market cars and was imported to the UK from Germany and registered here on 10th November 1997. Naturally, it’s finished in Imperial Dark Green with an Anthracite leather interior and has recently been the subject of major works to maintain it at the level that a vehicle of this nature deserves. A full bare metal repaint has just been completed at the not insignificant cost of circa £14,000 together with an interior refresh, a service and fresh MOT issued without advisories, all accompanied by the original spare wheel, toolkit and registration stamped glass. With a recorded mileage of just 38,366 and 22-years long-term ownership, it’s clear that this 1990s Supercar has led somewhat of a cherished life to date and, being one of the fastest and most sought-after cars of its time, interest is not about to diminish in the near future. A very desirable luxury saloon worthy of your very serious consideration.
