I know there was a van version of the MK2 Golf... but on my way to work this morning I saw an 'A' plate Mk1 Golf with what appeared to be paneled in rear side windows.... factory job? DIY job? ran-out-of masking-paper-when-doing-a-respray-job? Or were the hydrocarbons in the skud's plastic dash causing halucinations? (AGAIN)  |
| |
... the only injury I sustained was a bumped head when I let the seatbelt of without realizing the car was upside down  and that's not really the car's fault. |

South African model, they still make mkI Golfs in SA I think, maybe they do a van version as well?

They did do a Mk1 Golf Van, but I've never seen one in real life! A guy on ClubGTI has made one out of a GTi by removing the rear windows and replacing them with sheet steel painted to match!

Van MK1? Yep. We had those. There's at least one or two knocking about round these parts. Quite popular with the farming fraternity. Will snap one next time I spy one... didn't realise they were so rare!  |

Now that you mention it, I have seen a couple before, there's a haulage firm in Newhouse who's mechanics still drive mkI vans, as well as the odd Caddy, which are pretty nice!  All of them red, and all of them a similar age, I wonder if they were bought as a batch. |

Yep, definitely a Mk1. A friend of mine used to run one (a Diesel I think) as a daily instead of his Oval Bug.

No it was Scott. Although Tim sounds like a lovely person. Tim has that split barndoor pickup with elephant ears and popout safari's, as well as a black oval ragtop. He runs Roadhouse Motor co (mooneyes stuff), and used to have a blue oval, and a yellow ex german post office MKI golf Diesel. Had some cool Monkey Spinner decals on his cars. |
