Welcome to the forum, that is a very low mileage car you have there.

Whilst Cabby values haven't taken off like the tin tops, I think they are sure to follow them at sometime and as with tin tops and the Mk2 Golf  originality will make a bigger difference I think. So no don't paint it unless it's got some damage.

Your not alone in having the teddy bear wheels fonzooorooo has a blue cabby with the same wheels.

We would all love to see some more pictures and find out where you are from.

Welcome aboard mate.

Cabby prices have risen of late and low mileage standard cars are hard to find.
Ronal teddies again bit of a rarity. Nice to have something different.
Id just add that all the cabbies were made at the Karmann Factory and there isn't a particular model known as the Karmann edition as others have quoted before.
The Karmann wing badges are a tribute to the manufacturer who made these for Volkswagen.
VW didn't want to build the cabby at Wolfsburg alongside the Tin tops because they worried it would affect the production of the tinnies.

For me it's roof down, windblokker in place.. Tunes on and big smile…

cheers bud I'm trying to find a nice picture with the roof up as it is red with a red roof electric
the teddy wheel are not a bit of me to be fair
thanks bud for replying

Welcome. Car looks great…. I can't recommend the teddies though - I reckon ours come to life in the night and break stuff; engine, gearbox, engine again, brakes,  engine again etc etc etc. Haha.

Nice cabby with low mileage,    Not a big fan of the teddy bear wheel, think it be better on original to finish her off nicely, lol fonzooroo, you make them sound like chucky dolls lol
