VW Golf Mk5 R32 | Rare 6-Speed Manual & Recaro Wingbacks | Lower Road Tax

For sale is my cherished VW Golf Mk5 R32. This is the highly desirable 55-plate model, a key detail as it benefits from the significantly lower road tax bracket compared to later models.

This is a genuine enthusiast-owned example of a truly special car, with the most sought-after combination of the original factory-option 6-speed manual gearbox and the incredibly rare factory-option Recaro wing-back heated seats.

The car is in very good condition both mechanically and cosmetically, especially considering its age.
Key Features & Maintenance History

• Mileage: 107,000 miles.
• Service History: This R32 has been meticulously maintained throughout its life. It comes with a complete and comprehensive service history, including the original leather-bound R32 handbook and servicing documents.
• Paperwork: I have a thick folder of receipts documenting every piece of work done on the car across its history, providing a full paper trail of its excellent care.
• Maintenance: Despite the mileage, the car has had over 15 full services, a testament to its fastidious maintenance schedule.
• Suspension: Fitted with new KW Street Comfort coilover shocks all round in March 2024, providing a perfect balance of performance handling and daily comfort.
• Exhaust: A new Milltek resonated exhaust was fitted in July 2024, giving it a fantastic and authentic VR6 soundtrack without being overly loud.

This R32 is a fantastic example that drives exactly as it should. The combination of the manual gearbox and the legendary 3.2-litre V6 engine creates an engaging and unique driving experience that is truly special.

This is a rare opportunity to own a well-maintained, highly specced, and lower-tax example of a modern classic.
