Mk1 Cab - Power Steering !!??

[Dan W]

I think I know the answer to this but worth the question to others who may prove me wrong !!

Do any of the later Mk1 Golf Cabs (H, J or K reg's) come with power steering, even as an optional extra when new !?

I think all are without but would be interested if you have ever heard or indeed driven different.
If not then I guess the oldest cab you could get with power steering would be a Mk3?

Thanks
Dan

Dan, mine's not got power steering and any that I have ever seen advertised with power steering have all been conversions and I've looked at a lot of adverts over the years ! I don't think they were ever an optional extra even when new but I could be wrong.  

By the way, they did mk1 cabs up until 93/L but they are a very rare sight.

Hi, Yes i've seen a few advertised with conversion power steering which I guess yours must also have then !? I did wonder if this was any good - but I guess you wouldn't have it in yours if I wasn't !!

Sorry Gibby I read you initial reply wrong - my mistake.

and at a ?1000 for a conversion it's a luxury I won't be getting ..

pas was never an option on a mk1 cab. i guess the idea is to build up the hairdresser arms of the owners   joke

tsr have been doing that conversion for years so i imagine there must be a few out there

a guy at inters this year reckons there was a '94 sportline:

1) I'm goinna bring my clippers to GTi festival to show you how strong my arms are jv    

2) I'm not saying I don't believe him but I don't get how that would work though as 94/L would need to be registered from Jan 94 to end of July 94 so why weren't there more ? The only explanation I can think of is that this particular sportline was built well before it was first registered for whatever reason.
