Original Golf Finally Dies


Yes, you're probably thinking that the original Golf has been dead for a quarter of a century. Not so. This is the South African built Citi Golf, a Mark 1 Golf that wouldn't die.

Now VWSA has to terminate production to make room for newer, more profitable lines to be exported for valuable currency. The Mark 1 Golf will finally have to die.

It will go out with a bang however, with a 1600cc, 99bhp version (called the Mk1) which will sport part leather interior alloy wheels and near Mk1 GTI performance.

The car that invented the hot hatch we salute you.
