The Volkswagen Golf hatchback, introduced in October 1974, is one of the world's most popular and endurable cars. The GTI has become a classic whilst the Jetta is primarily a Golf with a boot. Known for its robustness and the need for minimum maintenance, these vehicles often suffer from total neglect by their owners. In this book, a restoration expert tells the reader what to look for when buying an older car and how to bring it back to first-class condition, ready to put another 100,000 miles on the clock.
