Dealer Description

This 1988 Volkswagen Cabriolet Boutique Edition is truly one of the nicest, most original examples left on the market. Showing only 69,xxx original miles, this car presents exceptionally well inside and out and features one of the rarest and most desirable color combinations offered on the Mk1 Cabriolet. Finished in iconic Tornado Red, this Boutique Edition is equipped with the extremely rare White Checkered Leather interior, a trim package nearly impossible to find today in this condition. Complementing the look is a clean white convertible top along with the matching white leather boot cover, completing the upscale appearance that made the Boutique Edition so unique. Unlike many surviving Cabrios that have been modified or heavily worn, this example is remarkably original and well-preserved. The only change from factory spec is a tasteful upgraded stereo system; all other cosmetic and mechanical details remain true to the original design. Adding to its desirability, the car features the collector-favorite quad-round front headlights, widely regarded as the best-looking front-end configuration for the classic Mk1 platform. The recent servicing makes this Cabriolet not only a pristine showpiece but also a wonderfully usable and reliable classic convertible. This Boutique Edition Cabriolet stands as one of the cleanest and most authentic examples you'll find anywhere. The combination of low mileage, rare interior trim, originality, and recent mechanical restoration makes it a standout collector-grade piece of Volkswagen history.
