Volkswagen Golf Mk1

Let's look at those contributions from a heritage point of view, Andile.

The VW South Africa business bringing us great iconic models such as the VW MK1, um, which we popularly know as the Citi Golf in some parts of the country.

Uh, VW Beetle, uh, not many countries on the African continent got to experience that, but we were one of the countries that did.

And the list goes on in terms of models that have been a, a unique part of South Africa's history.

So we pulled out a 1992 Volkswagen Golf Evoque.

mk1 cabriolet carmen series that has been tucked away i put it there in 2008 so if you want to find out why it's been in storage since 2008 you need to watch part one which is the introductory to that series so we continue with that series and all we're doing is basic maintenance upgrades going through electrical making sure there isn't any creative wiring anywhere else i've pretty much corrected everything back to volkswagen standards i used to work for vw and what a sharp little car that is in fact i was looking on youtube yesterday The Volkswagen Golf MK1 is really hot right now.

And this is a California car, and it's rust-free, and it's in very good shape.

So if you want to see the series, we're on episode 14 right now.

The panel gaps were perfect.

And the Mk2 GTI, so the Mk1 GTI was light and relatively quick.

The Mk2 8-valve GTI, well, that was a heavier car, so it was slower.

It was only when the 16-valve came along, I think, did the Mk2 come alive.
