As a keen mk2 golf fan (mine's coming back from the paintshop tomorrow with its new sills, front wings, rear arches, door bottom and muchos welding and an external respray in it's original Atlas Grey!!) I was amazed to see this! From wikipedia There was also a version called Golf Country (about 6,697 cars), designed for light off-road driving. It had more suspension travel, four-wheel drive, bullbars (generally over a single headlight grill), a skid plate for protecting the engine area, and a spare wheel mounted externally on the back. In Europe, it was offered with the acclaimed 114 bhp (85 kW) 1.8 8v petrol engine, and in smaller numbers, the 75 hp (56 kW) 1.6 GTD turbodiesel engine. There were also: 160 "Country Allround"; 558 " Country - Chrompaket" with Chrome bullbars and beige leather interior; and 50 "Country GTI" for VW-stuff. The Golf Country was particularly popular in Alpine regions in central Europe
There`s a few around, and generally a couple to be seen at most shows. There`s a green one, and a black one near me in Manchester, that I see quite often.
lovely, Always wanted one. Saw a mint blackish one on ebay quite a few months ago with beige leather. It was mint and I think it was going for around 5k.
