South African MK1’s?

Hello all,
i'm interested in a late model Citi Golf of some description, e.g. a newer Mk1. Anyone know of any for sale or anywhere I could find one or some info on one?
many thanks in advance,

auto trader quite often has one or two s.a. imports for sale.

also their is a company that imports new beetles from mexico, cant think what they are called, but im sure they import new golfs aswell.

 

Beetles have just gone out of Production in Mexico ain't they ?

TT

 

http://www.beetles-uk.com/ import the beetles, campers etc, but I can't see any mention of Golfs.

And yes, the last Beetle was made a few months ago, but there are still some in stock at the moment. I'd rather have a proper old one though, if only I had some spare cash!

 

if you were to import a brand new mkI golf from south africa, could you then register it in this country as a '53' plate?

 

yep, it would be registered as a '53' plate

 

Theres a guy in my work with a South African blue mk1 Citi on an "M" plate. The build quality isn't as great as the original mk 1 though. Oh, and they're all 5 door !

 

I want!!!

These r sooo cool. Has to be the proper camper, not the van. mmmmmm.......nice set of porka wheels, lowered & a fruity zorst

 

wouldn't you love to have to explain to people that it really is a '52' reg and not somethin dodgy?

 

Citi's not a patch on the original mk1 - lot of "restyling" - not nice.

 

I have one on K plate

Pffffft.

 

Sorry buddy - no offence meant !

Yours is the first I've seen with alloys - it looks ok in yer sig. But Im not sure of what VW did to the tailgate area.

 

What's up with the tailgate area? I thought it's the same.Mines got big bumpers, no metal strip under the front grille, front wings go out or in abit or something and their's a line in the rear quarter. I thought everything else was pretty much the same, mines still has the old type dash unlike the new shape they have now.Oh and some weird carb that no one can identify over here.

Oplaii

 

there's a terrible terrible one goes around glasgow/north lanarkshire area. it's a poor attempt at maxing it, chicken wire as mesh grille, blacked out windows, silver painted rear wiper. very laughable!

 

I couldn't say exactly what the differences are, but when I saw one in the VW dealer I was working in, I didn't like it as much as an original mk1.

 

it's a curious mix of mk1 and mk2

 

Anyone know anyone who's got one for sale?

I'm sure user 'passat' or summit similar had a 1996 1.6 N reg one that he wanted to sell at one point?

I can't find any for sale anywhere! It needs to be quite a late one but I can't even find early one's!
