So sad, will haveto get a 2nd hand one then.
And there's more!!
LAST CHANCE . . .
South Africans who still wished to own a Citi Golf could buy one until the start of next year.
To celebrate the end of the Citi Golf, which far outgunned Beetle production at Uitenhage, VWSA branded the last thousand Citi Golf's which were produced as Mk1 models, or Mark 1, harking back to its introduction to the local motoring scene.
Each car is individually numbered, and will be sold at R113 500.
The Mk1 comes with a 1,6 l engine, sports seat with partial leather, a golf ball gear knob, a radio and CD player, an airbag, red stitching detail, lowered suspension, twin exhausts and tinted glass all around.
To celebrate the end of the South African icon, Citi 001 (the last one produced in August already) would travel around the country, offering the public the opportunity to provide it with some body art in the form of signatures.
Citi 003 will be auctioned on the Bid or Buy web-site, with the proceeds to go to charity.
Two of the last produced Citi Mk1 units will join other Volkswagen Classic cars that are on permanent display at the Autostadt, the Volkswagen Group Museum and Brand Expo in Wolfsburg, Germany, and at the Volkswagen AutoPavillion Brand heritage centre, in Uitenhage.
How many times can we write GF.A on it??

Yes it was, and if you read what all the doomsday guys say about it here, it was a disaster from day 1 which is clearly not the case.
When you get a few more years under your belt, you might look back at some car or other and really want to own a new one "just like that"....screw the advances of the past few years, and just have an honest set of wheels.
As you know, the car that graces my garage was built in 1967...that certainly does NOT mean that it is now a danger to everyone else on the road.
I guess it is a mindset of kids who were not allowed to get a good KLAP every now and then, that the cars that they drive must be oozing with safety features, to protect them from their own sloppy driving habits.
I'm afraid I don't think that way. I loved the Mk1 Golf back when they were the latest and greatest, and I would happily drive one today.
VWSA's pricing structure is totally criminal, however, and there is no way that I can justify the price that they are asking for a new one.
MJ, like the Citi, was good in the 70's and 80's but became increasingly old and inappropriate after that. Also, you want to keep your kids away from both.
