In Golf disguise it was available as the - Golf GTI G60 (Golf II) - Golf Rallye G60 (Golf II - limited to 5.000 cars) - Golf Limited 16V G60 (Golf II - limited to 72 cars made by Volkswagen-Motorsport)
antp ◊ 2006-05-22 11:09	But is it a Golf 1? Or a 2? I am never sure when I do not see the side or rear
jplemoine ◊ 2006-05-22 11:40	Golf 1, reconnaissable à son design d'armoire normande (quand la Golf 2 ressemblait plutôt à un vieux frigo, dans le registre "fin et élancé") (ce qui ne les a jamais empêchées d'être de très bonnes voitures) (pas la tête, pas la tête!!!)
