Jesus wept
« on: 26 February 2013, 13:49 »
So...

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VERY-RARE-ENGLISH-VW-GOLF-RALLYE-OWNERS-MANUAL-HANDBOOK-SUPPLEMENT-G60-4WD-1H-/390550183817

Someone translated the German version themselves and printed it and it's now worth 100 pounds.

"This is a genuine Volkswagen handbook that you would have got from you local dealer when this model was in the showroom."

No it's not.

Original version is worth 1.2million I heard.

Aren't all Rallyes imports? Therefore there wouldn't be any original ones..
