What can you tell me about it?
OK briefly let me explain.
Used to sell VW/Audio many, many years ago.
For 25 years, always wanted a MK1 Cabrio in white.
Bought one last year.
Now here it comes, I've been a Genesis fan for close to 40 years. Concerts, clothing, memorabilia, you name it and I have some really rare items.
But a 'Golf MK1 Genesis' was completely new to me until about 3 months ago when searching for parts on Ebay.
So all I know is, produced 1992, screaming paint job and interior. (see Genesis version of the 'Scream' live, outstanding).
Turn It on Again: The Tour was a 2007 but only for the music. That video wall! (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turn_It_On_Again:_The_Tour)
Guess you had to be there, I was!
Does anyone have the definitive Info on the Model.
How many produced, the full spec and any other interesting tip bits about it?
Because to be honest, hate the color scheme but I'd sell my soul to own one. cf_emoticons__BangHead:.
Sad but true.

These were a European model. So left hookers.
The interior is busy, but I like the colour.
Will see if I can recall where I learnt the info I put before.

Ok from research VW collaborated or sponsored rock tours around the 90's. The Genesis being a MK1 base.
Bon Jovi, rolling stones Pink floyd. These were on the MK3 base.
VW did a tin top version too

Never seen one on the road in all this time but I want one now.
Might require getting divorced first!
God I'm going to miss her!
For a while anyway.

Lovely colour. Not sure about the interior though
Would be worth a few quid if one came up for sale

That's what I'm wondering, just what sort of money these are going for?
Chortle thinks there were about 150 LHD.
I will make my mission to find one for sale, just for the hell of it of course!
