It's a genuine Mk2 from VW, called the Golf Country.

It's a freakin wierd car though. Think it has the 1.8 Carb engine with 4 wheel drive and off-road gear.

Pretty damn rare. Worth a bit in the right market, but who'd buy one?

Cool car, makes a change to see something different 8)
Don't fancy changing mine to look like a mini Range Rover ;)

Does it come with VW wellies or were they an optional extra. BAAAAA

Do you reckon i could get hold of some of them roof bars anywhere?? Would be better then using the rubbers!

I'd love one of them just for the fact it's a mk2 ;D

I'll never forget the first time I saw one, it was in cambridge about 7 or 8 years ago. I was walking to the hairdressers in my lunchbreak and strolled past this capri green mk2 and caught a glance of some bull bars out the corner of my eye. I was like WTF and stopped for a better look and it was a good few seconds before I could work out what wasn't quite right with this mk2..............the fact that it was about 2foot off the ground with huge wheels. I hadn't even heard of them until then.

The one at inters was the same colour as the one I saw that day, maybe it was even the same one!

I don't mind the holes, i'd use them quite a bit and would be preferable to the rubbers, which are totally perished! Where do you get them?

from vw they are called roof bars, you can find them on e-bay quite often

I know what they're called!  ;)

I'd hoped it might be somewhere other than VW,  cos they'd be expensiv! I'd also like to get the ones for the golf, for the proper sizes and everything!
