wheeler dealers campaign golf proof
Everything is carefully planned so the production lines only build what is needed and spare parts requirements are also carefully planned.

Oh and its not a really a campaign, i mean unless the car was sold as a golf gti campaign then adding this word that makes it stand out is pretty silly.
I might start calling mine a campaign

There is absolutely nothing special about a campaign, and as ive said on many occations before I prefere non campaign mk1's - mainly because of the lack of sunroof, 4 lamps and a pillar trims.

Just to clear up a common misunderstanding: Volkswagen (as with other manufacturers) doesn't do special models just to "use up a few bits", they have "left over" such as body shells, etc. As far as the factory is concerned, all cars built are against a firm order and a customer is classified as an importer or dealer, not just a private individual. Volkswagen worked to this formula from the late Seventies at least, so this would apply to the last Golf GTIs.
Everything is carefully planned so the production lines only build what is needed and spare parts requirements are also carefully planned.
There have been plenty of special edition VWs from Jeans Beetles to Sportlines to Matches to Edition 35 GTIs . They are usually marketed near the end of the vehicle life cycle to help decaying volume until the new model.
Yes of course all material flow is planned and there is an order behind each vehicle to allow it to be built, but not all orders are from end customers. Plenty of vehicles are built for country stock so there is a pipeline of vehicles available for delivery especially for popular configurations that allows competitive leadtimes.

No, the16S was type approved by VW, its model code appears on the VIN plate, it appears in all VW spec sheets , brochures, parts catalogues, repair information, owners manual and given a full warrany by VWS. I have all this documentation for mine. This is what makes them extremely caught after and valuable. So certainly not some French people modifying cars! And by the way Oettinger the engine supplier are German not French.

Should the website team be thinking about removing the Campaign links from the front page of this forum then? :dontknow:
Any official response from the website team regarding the question above?

The thing is we all know what the word campaign refers to when spoken about in the context of the Mk1 Golf - so it would not serve any purpose other than confusion to change it !!
Please just carry on enjoying this site and your Mk1 Golf, what ever version that you have.
Funk, you wouldn't be trying to influence the market in your favour by any chance? Come to think of it, Stretch, you are not working for Funk are you? Lol

Just a wee bit of banter, Funk breaks cars for a living and is always looking out for a fresh market !!
Do people really hate campaigns ?
I don't think so, just some banter. I think what people get hooked up on is why do they fetch more money? It always comes down to human nature around exclusivity, it is always nice to feel that you have invested in something special. Some will pay for that, some will scoff and others won't care a hoot but just enjoy what is theirs.
The campaign is knitted in to the mk1 history - I tell you this, anyone that likes mk1 golfs and was offered a campaign at the right money for their budget and condition for their skills would snap it up :-)
Please continue to represent your fairly unique part of the Mk1 history !!
(At least it is not a five door, diesel or cabriolet !! - only joking lol)

I love campains, I love mk1 golfs infact but I just prefer to own non campaigns.
Some people (me included) just don't understand what the fuss is about, at the end of the day its a chassis number - thats all. One of the biggest problems with the mk1 golf is the sunroof, and as these come standard on campaigns it puts me off.
I also like the term campaign, it sounds better than 'run out model'

I don't think anybody on the site dislikes campaigns, however if your car isn't a campaign don't say it is.
