Quaranta is the name that VW UK gave to Belvederes for some reason, it's the same wheel. But even in the UK most people refer to them with their "international" name (Belvedere) and not the UK one.

by the way, the main reason Im so interested in Clubsports is because I bought one last year, but, I had a last minute panic over the cost, and I cancelled it.

I often regret that decision, it was a 3 door, white with black roof, leather, 19's,

And one of the reasons I wanted it was because I actually owned a 1976 Mk1 Golf GTI for about 2 years when I was a teenager, and that car meant a lot to me.

Wish I still had it ! Be worth a fortune now I guess  :sad:

I think the problem with the TCR is the UK don't relate to it, from what i gather with the UK series its the organisers who are not great.

For me the best 7/7.5 is the Clubsport with the right options.

I agree,

It's a pity they don't still offer the Clubsport as a 7.5.

I would have definitely bought one.

I am sure they will raid the parts bin before the mk8 comes along

maybe one final run out edition...I hope not in a way, as that would tempt me and I've only just bought my 7.5  :grin:

( I was actually slightly relieved when I heard that the UK wouldn't be getting the TCR)


Still, there's always this one, and I am tempted, although I suspect a divorce would be imminent if I did, but hmmmmmm  :grin: :grin: :grin:

You can find a very low mileage CSS for a lot less than that...they are close to list now.

What is unusual with the black one you posted a link to is the Dec 17 registration, that is a year after the first CSS were registered in the UK.
