The Train's a comin!

Mars red on train 3( lower level). I also think there's a lhasa one 3 cars back. I'll have that one and a 3 door Lido green 1.1c to remeber the good old days of my first car.

Didnt you know :dontknow: that train is going to Karmann Depot, and its on time!

they're all cabbys!

Like lambs to the slaughter    

Long live the mighty tin tops!

Think the pic has been posted before, its from the good old VW Report 9 - A car is built. How to build a Mk1 from rolls of sheet steel!



The Mars Red Mk1 is not necessarily a GTi - it could well be a Driver!  

The one 3 back from it is not a GTi as the colour is Azure Blue Metallic, not Lhasa which was not available for the Series 1 GTi.

I often wonder if my '79 GTi is on that train as the report was pulished in 1979, the same year as mine was built. But with 3,800 built at Wolfsburg each day, it  would only be a small possibility!

I like the pic of the shells all hanging in the marshalling yard, waiting to be called onto the GA line. Amazing finish to the paint, even back then with much of it being done by hand.

wow cool photos. Just reminds me of how popular they were back in the day, they are all LHD by the looks of it.

Am I seeing things????…tell me I am wrong….but do we have 5 imposters here…..they seem to have boots, the rear side windows seem different, the grill round the headlights and the wheel arch flares look different….

Those are Polo's/Derby's probably catching a ride on the Golf shipment.

Dubboy, is that report in English?
Ive got a scanned version thats in french, would love to see an english version.

Yep, it's in English  

Wow, nice pic. I'm sure I've got this pic in a general Auto book from years ago - not VW related, but looks v. familiar. Nice find! :wink:
