Vehicle Overview
Description
Fine us at deanemotors.ie Fewer cars are as evocative of the 1980s as a Mk1 GTi, and this Dublin registered original Irish example is beautiful. Finished in Diamond Silver metallic with grey pin stripe interior, this 1981 GTI has been meticulously maintained by its most recent owner of 20 years with just 79k miles on the clock. A full respray to a very high standard was carried out in recent years and the car sits perfectly on its original 14” Tarantula alloy wheels. All plastics and trims etc present very well, too. The interior is of the same standard. The original seats are in very good condition and there are only minimal signs of the car’s 44 year age. The 1.6 engine and 5-speed box perform beautifully and the car is a joy to drive having benefitted from a new exhaust, new gear linkage and suspension refresh. A full service and timing belt replacement has been recently carried out, too. An impressive example of an original Irish supplied Mk1 GTI, complete with its original brown logbook, that has had all the hard work done. **Viewing strictly by appointment. All cars supplied with valid NCT where appropriate.**

I just got my Ferrari back from Simon and the lads today after a serious engine out service. They got straight into the job when the took in the car and had it back in a very reasonable timeframe. The lads kept me up to date throughout with videos, photos and general updates. You wouldn't get this level of transparency from a Main Dealer. There were unforeseen issues along the way but they just got on with it and were able to order awkward parts where possible and had parts made where they were not available or too expensive to buy. Very few mechanic operations left of this type in Ireland with this wealth of knowledge and experience and they are not afraid to work on the higher end old cars. I will definitely be back to them for any future maintenence. Now all I need is a dry day to enjoy this V8 on the backroads again!!

Recently purchased my M4 from Simon and he was a pleasure to deal with from day one. After delivery there were some minor issues with the car, which were unknown to Simon and his Team, but he took the car back and fixed everything. He even provided a loan car to keep me on the road for a few days. As above, a pleasure to deal with and I can’t wait to do business with them again soon. Also a quick shout out to Simon Walsh who was so helpful throughout.

I’ve bought already 3 cars from Simon and Simon - such a stunning selection of cars for nearly any budget, and more importantly amazing after sale customer care. All 3 cars were in great condition with low mileage, ready to go to any car show. The latest one - Mercedes w201 has only 78k km (less than 50k miles!) in its 34 years, what a find by Simon and team! I had a small mechanical issue with one of the cars after the purchase - we arranged a repair and I was immediately provided with a replacement car (a wonderful experience on its own - a powerful beast with 250 bhp!). Was receiving updates on the repair and timing along the way in text messages, which was really nice. Always feeling welcomed and respected even buying comparatively cheaper cars. I could really feel their love to cars, knowledge and professionalism. I will for sure be back again and trade in for the next car!
