If you haven’t watched the Petrolicious segment highlighting Road & Track Senior Editor Jason Cammisa’s Volkswagen Scirocco, it’s worth a watch. In this short clip, he discusses how after driving some of the most high-dollar, powerful vehicles on the market currently, he years to step back into his Scirocco for pure driving pleasure. One point Cammisa touched on was the issue of steering feel in the Scirocco and how that kind of experience is lacking in new cars. I couldn’t have agreed more. Thankfully, we can always look back to the modern classics, such as this 1987 Scirocco GTX 16V for sale in The Netherlands. With just under 30,000 miles on the clock, it’s tempting to consider importing this VW and turning back time.

There’s not much info from the seller on this car, but the mileage and pictures do present what appears to be a very well-preserved Scirocco 16V. With the Euro falling in value as compared to the US Dollar, cars such as this youngtimer are becoming more and more feasible to import stateside. At over $11,000 before importation costs, this is a stiff price to pay for a Scirocco, but you rarely see one with this kind of mileage. A car like this would make you the envy of the water-cooled set.
