Has to be a hoax.....surely?!?!

Nope no hoax, it's what's known as a Golf Country. Used the same Synchro all wheel drive as the G60 and Rallye. Looks as though this one is a little higher than normal, but basically the same as standard Country! Check wikipedia for more info.

There's one near me, I keep seeing it everytime I go to Morrisons…

It's got Bull bars, the works!

I'll have to get a photo….

my brother is still after one of these

saw one for sale at Tatton once but he wanted loads for it

Yep real… same as this is real too, golf country cabriolet…

Now there's something about that that I quite like. And no it's not the fact that it's a convertible.

Alright Arnolda.

where have you lot been for the last couple of months?

this has been the topic of conversation a couple of times i the last couple of months.

that guy thats had loads of differant vw's had one. he keeps posting up pics when the topic pops up. you'll see him soon, it's a red one!

Oh my GOD, a Golf Mark 1 cabby 4x4 is my dream car! But that red one is not very nicely done up. Mine would look like a standard Golf, and then just go like a Fiat Panda 4x4 in the snow (something the current cabby is not capable of, despite not being *too* bad with snow tyres).

That was built by fiat! bet you didnt know that! :mrgreen:

Whatalotafun! (my number one fan it seems)  That 'guy' had a BLACK one! And has just popped up!! :lmao:

Yep…I loved my Golf Country.  The black one on the link at top of the thread could be my old one!  I sold it to a guy from Stockport in 2003 and never seen it since.  

I picked mine up from Munich.  I don't think that the Mk1 based cabrio version was made by Fiat. I think made in Italy, yes, by some coachbuilder in the country.  The red Mk1 based Country Cabrio in the link to the old thread, was in standard form and not customised…..!?!

Below, my 1990 Golf Country Syncro.  Original factory spec.  Don't where it is today…

THATS IM' just there. see,

I might be wrong but I'm pretty sure it's a MK2 cabriolet.. yep, they didn't make a mk2 cabriolet.. liars…!

I kinda did Funk, wasn't it bagini or something?

…Yep…that's it Biagini of Italy.  Mk1 Golf Cabby shell.

I would have thought www.ebay.it would be your best bet of finding one?

Without sounding anoraky…..

Golf Country was built at Syer -Puch factory in Graz, Austria….They are based on the Mk2 Golf Syncro CL standard saloons….bodies built by VW and then 'syncro'd at Graz before being built as a 'Country'.  The came in 3 models.  The Allrad ( a base model -oftyen adapted for use by the services and government- in black or dark green, minus graphics and with plain rear wheel cover, and vinyl seats and door cards with steel wheels, three spoke steering wheel- the rarest model really); The Golf Country (as pictured- also in black, red, blue, green and rare silver with option of steel or webasto style full electric roof and removeable towbar as options) and the Country Chrome (not SO rare….with all the bling on it and leather and wheels source in california!)

The Greman Ebay has a few on inc the Chrome one but i cant read or understand German. Besides who will travel up to Germany to pick up a car, wish i could.

Hopefully some of them would be up here in the UK for sale, specially a diesel one.
