This 1989 Volkswagen Jetta is one of 500 Canadian-market Trophy 16V models built and was first sold by Auto Hamer Inc. Based on the Canadian-market GTX 16V, the Trophy was also powered by a 16-valve 1.8L inline-four paired with a five-speed manual gearbox, and all were equipped with a rear spoiler, a front lip, Recaro seats, power steering, power windows and mirrors, and a sunroof. This example was specified in optional Midnight Blue Pearl with color-matched BBS RA 15″ alloy wheels – a Trophy-only shade – and it retains its unique quarter panel decals. The timing belt, tensior, and air-conditioning compressor were replaced and the system was recharged in 2025, and the battery was replaced in preparation for the sale.

Unlike the US-market Wolfsburg Edition GLI, all of which were specified in Helios Blue Metallic for the 1989 model year, the GTX-based Trophy was simply badged “Jetta 16V”. Midnight Blue Pearl (LC5V) was a Trophy-only shade, and the car has black bumpers and trim, a front air dam, a flush rear spoiler, plastic fender trim, unique Trophy quarter-panel decals, and a Fuba roof antenna.

Additional features include Jetta-logo splash guards, Wolfsburg fender badges, and a crank-operated sunroof. Window etchings and factory French-language decals can be seen in the gallery below.

Color-matched 15″ BBS RA alloys were standard on the Midnight Blue Pearl Trophy models and are shod in older 185/55 Continental SportContact tires here. A space-saver spare is fitted under the trunk floor along with a factory jack. Braking is handled by power-assisted discs at all four corners.
