Could be a Driver. |

4-light grille could be GTI or driver, but looks as if it's got a red GTI badge next to inner right light. Is that a dark green Cherry coupe with white roof past the red Micra? Wonderful colour scheme! |

There is a badge in the grille, not possible to say if its a GTI or GTD, but its one of these two |

No GTD in the UK as far as I remember. Until the current model. |

GTD Golf Mk2 not sold in UK, so is GTI. |

OK, didn't know that there was no GTD in UK, so its clear: GTI -- Last edit: 2010-09-16 16:03:54 |

I don't know in UK, but this should be a 1985-87 GTI with that grille...1984 original GTIs had a single light grille until early 1985. |

Mk2 GTis introduced in UK March 84, 4-light grilles (and incidentally side indicators not visible above) standardised from Aug 85. Presume the 4-light grille was optional from March 84, so this is still a 1984 example? -- Last edit: 2010-09-21 18:04:55 |

Ah I did not know that 4-light grille was option...so we have to check wheels, doors, interior trim and exhaust exit...so from this pic is not possible to tell the exact year |

GTD Golf Mk2 was sold in UK from 1990 Can't ever recall seeing or hearing of a 84 MK2 Golf with 2 light grille.Earliest ones would be Press cars - and they all have the 4-light grilles Also afaik Drivers are "phase 2" only therefore with door mirrors moved forward -- Last edit: 2010-10-01 19:53:21 |

No listing for any form of Mk2 GTD in Glass's Guide. The only TD is the CL TD (69 BHP) from Jan 85, uprated to 80 BHP Aug 89, and C diesel - normally aspirated to Aug 89, 60 BHP turbo afterwards. Again info checked against Glass's, who state 2 light grille standard until Aug 85, but agree that pretty well all UK Mk2 Gtis were 4 light as I can't recall seeing a 2 light example. Two Mk2 Driver editions listed, both based on 3 door 1.6 CL (1) Apr 87 (2) June 88, now with 4 lights. No mention of mirror position. -- Last edit: 2010-10-01 20:19:55 |

You shouldn't be too focussed on the grille. It ws a popular extra, available at VW-dealers or aftersales market. The most popular make was KAMEI, but others made them, too. |

1991 What Car? magazine and in the price lists it has Golf GTD at £11,896 -it also states "CL Turbo D -replaced by GTD" MK2 Drivers afaik regarding mirror position means all were later ones with no quarter lights - given the pic HAS quarter lights with mirrors positioned there - therefore it cannot be a Driver. -- Last edit: 2010-10-03 18:43:24 |
