"
This is the 1990 model year Mk2 Golf GTI/16v original sales brochure. As it was the first year of big bumper production it does have some historical significance. The 8v still wears the 'Sportcheck' upholstery first seen in 1988 but the 16v had reached its optimum specification with big bumpers, BBS alloy wheels and horizontal coloured stripe 'rainbow' seat fabric officially called 'Colour-stripe). Curiously however it now lacked electric windows which, only for the 1990 model year, were consigned to the options list costing around £500. Another curious point is the unavailability of a 16v in Tornado Red, a decision reversed in 1991 due to public demand"
Is that true?!? I must admit I can't ever recall seeing a Tornado Red 'Big Bumper' on anything earlier than a J, but I am about to go and see a TR Aug' 1990(H), and having read that snippet, it's got me a bit worried!
