The cabs were built at the Karmenn factory and not the Wolfsburg factory, so I wouldn't have thought so.

I think that must refer to the hardtop MK1, which was built at Wolfsburg, and not the Cabriolets.

Dont forget that the website you refer to is a forum users who's from Belgium (I think) so the special editions will probably refer to euro cars that may not have been seen over here, that's not to say that yours is not a special edition but as far as I know any special edition cabs usually say it on the V5 doc. If you look at the website it says nothing about Sportline or Rivages which were more than likely UK versions rather than euro ones.
......now officially dubless.
