CC christmas club - coco channel edition questions

Hey everyone,

just wanted to ask i have a 'cc' edition and wanted to know does a coco channel edition actually exist or is it just a common myth ?

i am thinking about selling it as a new job forces me to work stupid hours, do loads of miles, and gives me no time to spend on it

touch wood **knock, knock** i bought it in August, had it serviced, and have not had a problem with it apart from replacing the tyres.

it has the original 'cc' logo roof, interior, snowflake wheels etc
i will post pics soon but could anyone hazard a guess at what it is worth, they seem pretty hard to come by with all their original bits and bobs !

any help would be great

cheers

Greg

coco chanel died in 1973……………..3 years before the golf cabriolet was even thought of!!! she only endorsed perfume and earings if i recall!!!!

Christmas Cabriolet is its correct title i beleive………..its worth what its worth…….its condition and originality will help sell it, but the cc dont add a massive amount to its value.

Learn something new everyday!  
Thats why i love coming on here! Now i know when Coco Chanel died  and always thought the cabby was a coco chanel edition?  :dontknow:
Was it really a christmas edition car?  :?

CC stands for Christmas Cabriolet, but VW actually called it the "Lady Charme" CC edition. I think in the UK folks got the logo confused with that of Coco Chanel, even though they are clearly different. Let's face it Coco Chanel would hardly put there name to a car with the wrong logo!

In fact there were 3 special editions produced to celebrate summer festivals:

"Lady Sunshine" - Alpine White exterior paint, white plastic trim and door panels, white hood, white seat trim, black carpet, Zandvoort 5.5"x13" alloys

"Mister Moon" - Helios Blue Metallic exterior paint, Helios Blue plastic trim and Mauritius blue door panels, Atoll blue hood, Mauritius blue seat trim, Mauritius blue carpet, Avus (coded Helios Blue) 6"x14" alloys

"Lady Charme" - Alpine White exterior paint, white plastic trim and blue CC door panels, blue CC hood, blue CC headlining and sunvisors, blue CC seat trim, Mauritius blue carpet, Avus (coded Alpine White) 6"x14" alloys, Gamma radio

i had a lady charme, it had all you say but with a white cc headliner and blue visers, ??

i will have to get some pic's up, will be after christmas when i have my new digi cam, its great having something a bit different, the only problem being, it is impossible to get interior parts for, e.g i have a bit of wear to the drivers seat, no chance of replacing it as i would have to have the fabric custom made !! and im too poor to do that  

aparently there were only 750 made ?? dont know if this is correct but would be nice to know how many are about
