This 2012 Volkswagen Golf GTI is a rare Edition 35 model, built to celebrate the 35th birthday of the iconic GTI. It boasts a detuned Golf R 2.0-litre turbocharged engine that produces 232bhp, which is a full 25bhp more than a standard GTI, and equates to a 0-60mph time of 6.6 seconds and a top speed of 149mph. It has the desirable six-speed manual gearbox, too. This really is a hot hatch!

The Edition 35 can be identified by its unique bumpers and sill extensions, a front splitter, black door mirror housings, and ’35’ badging on the flanks. This example is finished in timeless Carbon Steel Grey Metallic with 18-inch Monza light-alloy wheels.

Inside, there are ’35’ door sills, red-edged seatbelts and a cool golfball-inspired gearlever. The seats are full black leather and heated. There is full dual climate control, a Dynaudio sound system with auxiliary input, auto-dim rear-view mirror, automatic wipers, automatic xenon headlamps (with daylight running lights), front and rear parking sensors, rear parking camera, traction control and a multifunction leather-clad steering wheel, plus a rubber boot liner. It really is a very high specification and wants for nothing!
