MattyCD Posted October 30, 2008 Posted October 30, 2008 http://paultan.org/archives/2007/03/03/vol...-citigolf-18ir/yes thats right, in South africa they never stopped production of Mk1's, they reused the chassis and renamed it the citigolf Quote
Asad Posted October 30, 2008 Posted October 30, 2008 They make some solid cars in countries like that....better than the toys we get Quote
MattyCD Posted October 30, 2008 Author Posted October 30, 2008 i was just browsing around and stumbled on it, was totally shocked because i loved Mk1's and 2's Quote
BenV Posted October 30, 2008 Posted October 30, 2008 new old golf they still make the original beetle in mexico Quote
Guest Enzo Posted October 30, 2008 Posted October 30, 2008 last time i was in sa they were all over the place, alot of the young ones think hey are pretty gay and would rather buy a fiesta or corsa ute,which they call buckys funnely enough Quote
kaylee Posted October 30, 2008 Posted October 30, 2008 it looks weird the car looks old but the interior looks dead modern lol Quote
Galliano Posted October 30, 2008 Posted October 30, 2008 every now and then i see an 03 plate original beetle pass me, modern interior, old exterior, they also kept going with the camper too Quote
mike.swarbrick Posted October 30, 2008 Posted October 30, 2008 My sis' went to Botswana not too long ago and travelled round SA for a bit. She had a hire car that was a mint mark 1 GTi. They said not to go off road in it, but SA's roads aren't exactly smooth!Cheers. Quote
Beaker Posted October 31, 2008 Posted October 31, 2008 Only problem is they are all 5 door. The TV ads are great though!http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=wrPX-2KLyAohttp://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=62_ouMRT96E Quote

Bildo Posted November 1, 2008 Posted November 1, 2008 every now and then i see an 03 plate original beetle pass me, modern interior, old exterior, they also kept going with the camper tooYup, pretty sure they do still make the 'original' VW Campers, in Brazil iirc. Quote
minxy Posted November 1, 2008 Posted November 1, 2008 IIRC these aren't EXACTLY the same as the original MK1s Quote
MattyCD Posted November 2, 2008 Author Posted November 2, 2008 IIRC these aren't EXACTLY the same as the original MK1sYes thats the whole idea. Over the years they've facelifted it, such as 2006 Skoda Fabia interior, updated lights front and back etc. Hence its called the CitiGolf and not Golf Just like the Lotus Carlton, to look at was just a Cav but a different heart powering it Quote
