Pranut’s daughter The Elf has just put her order in for one of these. The Mk7 has the same tartan style seats as the original Golf GTI Mk1 from the 1970s. This iconic motor is 40 years old this year.

This model has a top speed of over 150mph and a 0:60 in 6.5 seconds. It’s a lovely balance between fun and practicality.
