Is this true?
« on: 13 November 2012, 19:17 »
Came across this ad on eBay, eBay item number: 110974713329.

Basically in the ad, the seller states that mk1 golfs were made in south Africa up until a couple of years ago? :undecided:

is it true?

This can't be a GTI as it's a 1.6 right?

I've never seen a Mk1 Golf in South Africa with that bodykit, it must be a "special" kit for the UK...  :undecided:
