It's a 50/50 so I only get half a star.

A lot is research by me over the various forums and I only have one book on the GOLF.

And that wasn't taken from it either.

It's all out there I just see stuff and write it down and tweek it and add what else I have gleaned.
It's not complete as I was writing a paper about the cabriolet per se.

As a final point Karmann made the Escort Cabby for ford and apparently worked with Renault for their  Cabriolets also?
They are no longer in manufacturing and have closed down so I understand.

I have loads of bookmarks in my browser for Cabby stuff.

Bizarre, but I kind of like Cabby in the snow...

There was some useful information there but I have to agree, I thought the earliest MK1 GTI Cabby was 83.

What it is saying I believe is that by 84 in the USA and 85-UK the 1.8 GTI engine became the standard power plant for the "GTI" Cabby models, which succeeded the Gli.
It's not saying that models prior could not be a GTI, there were a lot of quick changes engine wise over a few short years, you had the GLi etc beforehand which still had an injected engine albeit a 1.6. A 1.8 GTI engine was available as early as 82 for the GLi. So you could get both models with a 1.8 GTI engine.

Ah see I knew the GTI lump was used in the GLI's but I thought you could get a GTI spec cabby from 83...
