SOLD : This is not your average MK3 GTI. Built specifically for the Japanese domestic market, this Euro-spec 1998 Volkswagen Golf GTI stands apart from any USDM counterpart. Finished in factory Candy White, this RHD hot hatch features the highly sought-after ABF-code 2.0L 16-valve inline-four—an engine configuration never offered in the U.S. GTI lineup.
Adding to its rarity, this MK3 is a factory 4-door GTI, another spec not available stateside. Mated to a 5-speed manual transmission, it delivers a truly analog driving experience. Inside, you’ll find factory Recaro seats, an Alcantara headliner, and a clean interior with no moonroof—just how you want it.
The car rides on a fresh set of Solo Werks coilovers, giving it a perfect stance while maintaining daily drivability. Whether you're into rare Euro-JDM imports or just want something clean and unique, this MK3 delivers.
