I don't know where you find out how many were made of a particular colour but I don't remember them being marketed as special editions, it's just that the oak green 16v are sought after as they are the best colour IMO. If you are selling it PM tobzman from this site as it sounds like something he would be interested in.  :)

that is the classic colour so traditionally very desireable. i imagine a lot more than 2000 were made and no it's not a limited edition.

will be very easy to sell tho  8)

Spot on Gibby, still looking!

Hi vwnutt
If you are looking to sell your motor send me a PM detailing the condition of the bodywork, mileage, service history, tax & test and your expected price.
As jv says there were probably thousands of mk2 golfs made in oak green so it is unlikely to be a limited edition. However to many a late oak green valver is seen to be the epitome of the mk2 gti.

Cheers
Toby

Oh no looks like something's started now!!!
Oak green without a doubt the best with schwartz black coming second.

Anyway stop hijacking the thread, vwnutt can't get a word in edgewise and he might wanna sell me his car  ;)

everyone says oak is *the* colour to have.

i would disagree now. the three metalics come from the 88 Campaign which had black, blue, and green. the reason oak became the colour to have is because very few Campaigns ever had it.

once oak came onto the main option list - everyone had it.

the rarest colour today has to be the metalic blue.

Yep definately agree with you there tin bright blue metallic is definately a lot rarer than oak green. I would definately have a 16v in  that blue metallic but I've yet to see one, they all seem to be 8v in that colour.

your absolutely right tobz.

i was thinking of the dark met blue that came from the three Campaign colours, but there was a bright, almost turquoise, metalic blue that is never seen around today.

both blues went horribly out of fashion for some reason.
