A reg GTI with single headlamps

Post

Has anyone seen a standard A reg mk1 GTI with single headlamps, I think all A reg non campaign models also had twin lamps as I can't find one that has single headlamps. 
Weird ??!

Yes your right, all Campaigns had twin lights, although the centre ones were fog lamps.  Other models came as standard with two headlamps, but many opted for the twin spot lamps in the grille and I think by the time any last remaining non Campaigns were being sold the dealers fitted them with extras possibly to use stock up.

There are a few A reg in the Post up your favourite picture thread but some could have taken the old four lamp grille off and replaced it with the standard one as they do look good in my opinion.

Even an A reg driver I once had came to me with 4 lights, but yeah could have been changed by previous owner.

Over here (Austria) just about all of the later 'Drivers' came with twin head lamps.

The Driver back then was only a GTi look alike from memory!
Similar interior/exterior (not the same) and without the big lump under the bonnet.

For hatchbacks, inner fogs standard on S2 Driver, GX and 707 option coded GTis. The better Cibie spot lamps standard on 16S GTis. Everything else is accessory.

There is a nice pic in the mk1 oc calendar for April of a single light grill red mk1. Reg plate is blanked out. Worth a look…

Cheers Hugh.
