Volkswagen Golf Diesel 1.5 – 1976 – Only 49,000 km – Unique Original Example
Are you looking for perhaps the finest original early Golf Diesel available? Then this is a rare opportunity you won’t want to miss.
This Volkswagen Golf 1.5 Diesel was delivered new in November 1976 by Garage Coulmiers in Paris. It remained in the hands of the same family for decades and was used exclusively at their holiday home in the southwest of France. As a result, the odometer shows a remarkably low 49,000 kilometers – completely original since new.
A few years ago, this Golf was rediscovered during the sale of the associated property. It was carefully purchased and underwent a full technical inspection: the timing belt, filters, brakes, and other key components were either replaced or serviced. The car is now fully road-ready.
What truly sets this Golf apart is the extensive original documentation that comes with it:
- The original purchase invoice
- Fully completed service booklet
- Various maintenance invoices
- The original owner’s manual
- The French registration papers
- A recent technical inspection certificate
This is an early Mk1 Golf with the rare 1.5 diesel engine and classic first-generation steel bumpers. Finding an original Golf Diesel in such condition and with such a low mileage is nearly impossible today.
Why choose this Golf?
- Preserved in original condition
- Extremely low mileage
- Fully documented history
- Ready to drive, no restoration needed
- A rare and appreciating investment
- Rare and desirable Panama Brown color
A restoration project may seem cheaper at first glance, but it will never match the authenticity, character, or long-term value of an unrestored, original example. Original is only original once.
Are you ready to own a true piece of Volkswagen history? This might just be the finest 1976 Golf Diesel you’ll ever come across.
