BTW i noticed the display cab was a little dusty :naughty:

Here's most of mine, most of the boxes have been slung, as there's no real value in this stuff, and after years of toy collecting it always annoyed me that i couldnt open everything! 8O
























woah! how did they get in there? :roll:

and here's the original owner of my mk1.

Awesome collection dubboy… you have an Ancona blue one! 8)

The interior is the same colour as the '75 brochure car though rather than like mine which is black vinyl with creme cloth centres.

I know its only a bag, but they were handed out at VAG dealers in the late '70s/early '80s to people looking at the new mk1 Golf. Mine was put away in a draw for years. It now lives in my mk1. Thanks to Kins for the photo
