yep that's a no,I thought they only made the fire and ice g60's so was suprised when I found this link! I'm guessing the g60's would have been syncro but the rest defiantly would have just been fwd.

Think the only G60's with synchro were the "Limited" and Rallye.

There has been a fire and ice for sale from a used car dealer for some time now for about 5k and it isnt selling even though its mint

Yeah they are 16valve G60 with four wheel drive, produced by VW motorsport. I believe the majority of them were 5door

I have never heard of any other G60 synchro's apart from the rallye and limited, at least not in the golf range.

There was a passat G60 synchro aswell wasnt there?

Was the Fore and Ice a special golfing edition of the Golf?

Fire and ice was the bad-taste Euro-trash-baiting special edition with lairy coloured interior that thankfully we never got over here.

VW never made any Synchros, you bloody heathens.  They only made Syncros.

And yes, they did indeed make G60 Syncros, badged GTI in three and five door.

They also made GT Syncros, with the limp wristed 98bhp injected 1.8 8V catalysed motor.  The UK only got 665 of the Golf Syncro and 115 of the Jetta Syncro, oh and a few LHD Rallyes and the odd Limited.

Good point, I even remember reading this last year http://www.matey-matey.com/Golf_GTi_G60_Synchro.shtml

I actually am a complete spaz

fire and ice...shocking interiors

syncros in 3 and 5 doors not just rallye. Most of them 3 door syncros are LHD.

One for sale on edition 38 at the moment with a charged r32/r36 lump. Had my eye on it for a while but im guessing he wants silly money!

erm, 20k how? not to mention the butchery to a rare car

they really are deluded over there
Title: Re: Mk2 G60 fore and ice
Post by: dan_apps on 06 April 2010, 10:11
see your point, they are rarer than rallyes & G60's, loving the r36 conversion on this one mind!

ahh.......note the seller... Andy Sahota of Storm Developments!

That shell was just that, a shell when he got it, so he hasnt butchered it as such.

It is insane though, they were testing it when i was over there once, its f**king serious!
Title: Re: Mk2 G60 fore and ice
Post by: VeeDubGTI16v on 06 April 2010, 10:32
must have been the previous owner who butchered it then  :grin:

still, £20,000? you can buy a very nice car for that!

the Fire and Ice model is a Dutch limited edition

i nearly bought one , but the interior gave me a headache after 2 mins

bought the ED1 in the end

the Fire and Ice was available in 8v 16v and G60 , none 4WD and all with big bumpers

didnt realise they were so rare or i would have bought it and shipped it back to blighty and sold it on again  :grin: :grin:
