Mk1 Golf cabriolet appearances in films
As they are a cult classic they are in many films, I watched "Fun With Dick and Jane" the other week and much to my surpirse Jim Carey was driving one at the end!-Needless to say I went out smiling! So on my car domain page, I decided to dedicate a page to cabriolets spotted in films, there are still many I need to include, (I have a long list!) its just getting time to take the pictures!! :-)
Here is the link, hope it works!

P.S I know car domain is a modifing website, but there are still many original cars featured - my cabby isn't overly modified, just slightly lowered with some Estoril alloys-as Mk1 Golfs are spot on already! :-)

Owning a Mk1 cabby is a vertical learning curve…

but there is a MK1 Rabbit in Con-Air.
its a black beauty!
but the chap who owns it decides to steal the vette stingray parked next to him instead of using his golf!
FOOL!
although a sting ray would look nice on the drive next to my golf! 8)

Have you spotted the Cabby pulling out of the side road The Verve's 'Bitter Sweet Symphony' video as Richard Ashcroft walks in front of it?
Dan
Thank-you, I didn't realise, I'll have to get the CD out, think I've got the version with the video on, hope so!!

Nice to see you've got "Licence to drive" in there. I thought I was the only one who remembered that film. :dance:
Well of course! :-) "Licence to drive" is an eighties classic! :-) Whatever happened to Haim and Feldman?! All the eighties films are great and many of them have cabbies in them, which is always a bonus!! ;-)

"Nell" with Jodie Foster. They drove it off-road in the woods!
Thank-you! :-) I have now added pictures from "Nell" to the site - there were lots of cool shots of the cabby!

Hey Greg, what colour is the cabby? Is there simply a glimpse of it?
Thank-you

Hi Julia, no theres a fair bit of it! think its red. im not certain tho, there is a load of girls in it, the older sisters friends. its when they drop her off/pick her up at her house of a camping trip or something. im suprised u have seen the film!
thought of a couple more too, there are glimpses in 'a fish called wanda' and 'american warewolf in london'- i think. do tin tops count?
