I have just made a list for the mk3 section and found they include info on the mk2 also, and thought i would be good and post the links here too... just click on the brouchures to enlarge each page
This is the 1989 model year Golf GTI/16v original sales brochure. the last year of production before the introduction of the milestone (or unneccesary?) 'big bumpers'. The 8v remains on the earlier style, 14 hole 14" steel wheels, while the 16v continues to be factory fitted with the 14" 'Coke bottle top' Montreal alloy wheels. Power steering is still not standard on either of them though a fair number of 16v's had it fitted as an extra cost option. Also at some point in 1989, the 16v front brake dics were uprated from 239mm to 256mm but don't expect to find this in a brochure!

http://www.volkswizard.co.uk/brochures/1989mk2gti16vbrochure.htmThis 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 though many must have regretted this when the car transformed into Tornado Pink as the original finish faded.

http://www.volkswizard.co.uk/brochures/1990mk2gti16vbrochure.htmThis is the 1991 model year Mk2 Golf Driver and GTD brochure. Unlike the GTI, these models never got the 1990 makeover and retained the small bumpers right to the end. Everybody knows about the Driver, a 1.6 in 1991 it became a 1.8 for the 1992 model year and proved a very popular car for those who couldn't justify GTI insurance premiums - though if your troublesome Pierburg 2E2 carburtettor started playing up, your fuel costs would negate any savings when compared to the hyper-efficient fuel injected GTI. The GTD is and always was a rare beast not helped by the fact most were used as workhorses and covered huge mileages with service intervals often neglected. Still it's interesting to look back at the GTD which at the time did a reasonably convincing job of starting the process of educating VW fans that a diesel could be good to drive.
