G6 LTD - Golf G60 Limited

Saw this car on Friday evening just outside of Leamington Spa (going past the Quality Hotel off the A46) - sadly not in my Corrado so didn't bother flashing or waving or anything, but was a real treat to see one of these super rare beasties on the road

Having done a bit of Googling, seems to be a car known around these parts.. or at least it used to be a few years ago? Is the owner on here and is he local to Leamington?

 

I saw it in coventry the other day just coming off the a46 to.

 

The car in question...

 

Thats the puppy - though it did seem to be wearing some different alloys. Seen them before on a Corrado.. sort of flat faced almost looking like steelies but alloy coloured instead. Quite weird but suited it pretty well

 

ye i know him, hes called Jon, lives in leamington. The limiteds got 300bhp, and alot of fun to ride in

 

on steelies atm whilst the BBS are getting refurbed. 300bhp



tbh the car in the background is one of my favourite dubs, definatly the most fun to ride in. mk1 20VT with 270bhp. yeeesh.





he doesnt take it to coventry much though. oh and the grill badge has broke....

 

I love these cars.... to the untrained eye it looks just like a Golf driver or something!!!

 

yup, and not 300 horses of 4 wheel drive action with all the optional luxury extras

 

Superb and thanks for the info Dave! I'll give him a wave if I ever see him again! Would love the chance to have a good look around that G60 Limited.. they are probably one of the best VW's ever made, despite my true love being the Rado!

Cheers

 

where in cov are you?

 

I'm in Leam mate.. you already know who I am (Jim with the Red Corrado 2.0 16v - saw you at Decked Dubs meet, and that Midland Air Museum meetup) but i'm just posting under a different nickname than I use on a few other forums

 

oh right thought you were someone who wanted to steal it

awsome

hi jim

 

I had a look around this at inters and its beautiful. A real sheep in wolfs clothing.

 

Psst, my CL can take that on!

 

I'm well envious of yer car mate, defo one of these on my lottery list.

 

Not sure if I'd rather be in the Ltd or that Mk1..

 

Got 2 of the 4 wheels refurbished. Does any one know what size the original tyres on this car. Toyo 215 45 15s just came off it but I dont want the same again. Was looking at 205 50 15s goodyear NCT5. Any comments welcome.

Hahaha, I own it now! (the mk1)

Not sure on your question though sorry

 

yes 205/50/15 was the standard fit, but I would run 195/50/15 as they don't look as balloned

what happened to it's mate G6 DUB?

found a pic from VW Driver few years back

 

Reviving an old topic.... I went in G6LTD when I was at uni, was an absolute rocket ship, and they weren't shy about giving it some beans!! Gary and Claire were the CGTI hosts back then, cannot believe they had 2 of them... madness.
