I was wondering if anyone knows any info about this model, I have found a bit of info but not much.

often referred to as the Coco Chanel model.. i don't know how the rumour started that coco chanel had anything to do with it though. Just a coincidence of initials i reckon.

go on to www.vwgolfmk1.org and its all explained there and it will also tell you what to look for with regards problems,
DO NOT be afraid to walk away, if you get an iffy mk1 it can cost 000s to put right,
go by the buyers guide on there and you wont go wrong  
oh and btw if you do get one youll be joining the coolest mark of all

Awesome, thanks for all your help, so night reading coming my way then

remember there is no power steering on rhd mk1s

The roof will have the CC logo on it if it's original. If it's a tatty roof and you need to replace it then you're unlikely to find one with the CC logo.
