Title: When is the original Mk1 a Mk2???
Post by: Taylor on 13 June 2004, 17:13
Sorry, but I am so confused!

When does the original Golf Mk1 become a Mk2? Is it when VW change some of the engine and update it, but still leaving the body style the same?

I thought the Mk1 was just that and then the Mk2 was the next style that came out (the one that doesn't have a cabriolet version).

Sorry for sounding like a such a eejit!

Thanks!

1983 saw the end of the mk1, by this time a complete new car was released as a mk2 and the only thing being the same as a mk1 at that point was the running gear.  

My 1983 MK1 (one of the last)

From '83 onwards, think thats a B plate! the mk2 becomes bigger than the mk1
