According to Wikipedia, Shanghai-Volkswagen began producing the original Santana B2 in 1985 and the Santana Variant in 1986. The facelifted Santana 2000 came in 1991. The original Santana is still made alongside the third facelift, the Santana Vista, but all Santana models will be discontinued in 2012. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volkswagen_Santana#Santana_.28China.29 @ingo: The current Santana brochure for your collection. .gif ":)") Link to "vw.csvw.com" -- Last edit: 2011-11-24 01:23:42 |

@Gag: thanks for the link, but I've already reduced my literature collection strictly on K 70-stuff .gif ";)") Everything non-K 70-ish is sold, swapped or given away. Last Sunday, on the market in Rosmalen/NL I've bought only a few little rarities (I hope so), which maybe are intersting for some IMCDB-ists:![[Image: img0471fa.8148.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/0is263/img0471fa.8148.jpg) - and a handful of Wartburg-literature. New for me, but it's interesting for the East German Wartburg-fans, because stuff for export markets were never available in the DDR. This searching was a pleasure for me Finally a reason to scrabble around for nice finds. With K 70-stuff these nice experiences have disappeared - I already know the common literature and the most magazines with articles. So it's really nice to make such a discovery safari again P.S. @chicomarx, @antp and the other Belgian members here: which automobilia or parts-market is most recommended in your country? Back to the Chinese Santana: I've owned some brochures, even from 1986! After I wrote a letter, Shanghai-Volkswagen has send me an envelope with brochures of the Santana, the Santana Wagon, the Audi 100 - and even the Shanghai SH760!  In annother letter from China in this year was a brochure of the Beijing Jeep.Years later I've swapped this stuff at a meeting of the German auto-literature-collectors-club. |

P.S. These aren't Santana 2000s or any of the other facelift versions. The 2000 has a slanted front: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Volkwsagen_Santana_2000_in_Xi%27an.JPG |

P.S. @dsl: sorry, nothing Rootes-ish on these (Belgian) matchboxes  And no Ford Cortina either. Also none other collectibles like ashtrays or auto-quartets with them. But a plenty of manuals, repair handbooks, brochures, even some spare parts were available. For a fan and collector of literature about British cars, Dutch an Belgian marekts and swap-meets are much more recommended than German ones. Maybe someone could be interesested to go there: http://www.britishcarsandlifestyle.nl/ |

As I said, Shanghai-Volkswagen began producing the Santana Variant in 1986, not 1991. |
