Fairytale mate.

Holy Cow, I'm shocked! 'Christmas Cabriolet' sounds nowhere near as cool as 'Chanel', VW missed a trick there lol. Can't believe I fell for that one for all these years.

huh i never knew that either, i saw a few coco cabs some years back for sale, always thought they were a gen rare car

well you live and learn eh?

The version is rare, especially with the right roof and correct interior in decent condition. Its just the name people keep getting wrong.

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

Welcome!  Which one of the above editions do you have?

thank you 4 welcoming me.
I have a 1985 gti cc. All info very helpful. Dom suppose any one knows where i can get the cc side decals from?

Sorry about very late reply.

Im from Northumberland. Are there many gatherings around this area.
I think i have got a Lady Charme CC. Its got a blue mohair roof with cc in the lining and all blue interior.
I am after original bumpers for it at the mo. Its got oversized ones on at present and the front one is damaged. I would like to get the car back to its original form if i can.
