Catalogue information
The simple yet elegant Giugiaro styled Golf Mk1 was launched in June 1974 and immediately started to sell very well worldwide. It offered a new start for VW who shed their age-old Beetle derived image almost instantly in favor of a public perception based upon quality and reliability; something which they have to this day. Famously called the Rabbit in the USA many other VW Group cars used the Golf's 'A platform' including the Mk1 and 2 Sciroccos, Golf Cabriolet, Caddy pickup, Caribe and Jetta. The Golf Mk1 was replaced by the Mk2 in 1983 but lived on in South Africa, finally ceasing production in November 2009. Limited Edition 1,000 pcs. (with certificate)
