Awesome!.... Of course it's cool as f**k, it's a mk1... not as cool as mine though obviously! 

Anyway.. Pics or it never happened!

From that picture it looks ace..... Worth every penny.

slightly off topic but why were these still built in '91 when production of mk1's stopped in '83? it has always puzzled me because technically its a mk2 (or 1.5 )

VW ceased general production of the MK1 golf (tin top) in 1983 although continued to produce them in 5 door only for South Africa as a Citi Golf.

The MK1 Cab was always built at the karmann coachworks production line.  Production of these did not cease until 1993 as they did not bother designing a mk2 version (wouldn't have been much point). In other words they continued with the mk1 Cab until the launch of the mk3 which by then had a convertible version too.

Damn straight they should of.. but then the MK2 was a good car too and had a lot of similarities with the MK1...  It's the MK3 they should have never bothered with.
