HISTORY FILE
The name R32 originates from ‘R’ for Race and ‘32’ in recognition of the 3.2 litre engine, and this one owner example has been truly cherished. Registered new on the 16th September 2003 by Main Dealer Listers VW of Stratford upon Avon, the car was registered to Mr Day who is the cars only owner from new. A copy of Autocar magazine in the history file from February 2003 reviewing the Golf R32 and garnishing much praise perhaps helped the decision to place an order? An amazing history file consists of full Volkswagen Main Dealer service history from the supplying dealer network and the file of paperwork begins with the original vehicle order form and sales invoice confirming the price new of £24,436.52. The huge folder of paperwork includes all point-of-sale documentation along with all main dealer servicing invoices to correspond with the 11 Volkswagen stamped entries across both the original and subsequent service books. Perusal of the paperwork in detail will consume some considerable time and will leave no doubt as to the fastidious and meticulous upkeep this car has enjoyed for its 20 years and 51,756 miles. Every single MOT certificate dating back to the first in 2006 is neatly filed. The most recent major service was carried out by supplying dealer, Listers VW of Stratford upon Avon, in July 2023 at 51,656 miles with supporting invoice. The Haldex oil service was carried out at Volkswagen in June 2022 at 51,570 miles. All handbooks, manuals and brochures and are included neatly filed in a blue A4 folder and the special leather R32 document wallet and both keys and dealer fobs are present. The owner has even kept the R32 umbrella and R32 keyring both unused in their presentation containers, items that are ultra-rare and collectable in their own right! Pampered from delivery by one owner, this is clearly evident in both the condition and full VW history.
