Just looked at my Jan 84 MK2 Brochure and it lists

RED INTERIOR
Mars Red
Alpine White
Atlas Grey

GREY INTERIOR
Black

Diamond Silver

Might have originally been a personal import as many of the last MK1s were and they came in Mars Red with Grey interiors as well.

Good news on the material,in that you can switch round sure they will look as good as the ones you did in your MK1

RichardHall i think you are right on the personal import side - had this from VW germany :
DSC_1690 (2).jpg
which confirms it is a very early production car, and not shown, on the rest of the email it says :

country of entry : germany
note: uk mph

and the first registered in uk date is nov '85 on the log book i have received from the dvla.

so it left the factory as a uk, rhd, mph speedo, red car with silver/grey interior. then came to the uk later on..  :thumbs:

Good detail!!!!!
Car looks good, as has been said, not many around now.
