Campaign ?

what is the difference between a Campaign Gti and a non Campaign GTi?

i.e Why are they considered more desirable?

Have a good look here for the differences.   :wink:

And who says they are considered more desirable?

What of? Apart from minute details, there's no difference between the Campaign and non-Campaign.

They are more desirable in the same way a Micra Wave special edition is more desirable than a normal Micra.

The campaign model as luxury leather wrapped steering wheel, discreet but ultra cool green tinted glass and there faster.

Ok. To clarify, they're slower, unless driven really fast by wooders.

Now ive caught 2 8O  8O

When did a debate become a fishing expedition?

The fact is, the differences in a Campaign are minor, but do in themselves at a little to the value. There is a perception that they're worth more than this small amount due to the 'mystique' surrounding them, which is no great harm anyway - if you have a Campaign and sell it for ?250 more than an equivalent non-Campaign, then you probably bought it with the price premium anyway!

Historically this club owes its origins to The Campaign Register, which means that a lot of the older (longer serving) members are Campaign owners rather than the non-Campaigns. Its a similar debate to the hatchback vs cabby, or perhaps GTI vs non-GTI one. You can talk about it for ever, but the similarities are far greater than the differences so naturally, the club will stay as supporting all Mk1s.

I think that because so many Campaigns survive the mystique has gone - I agree that all MK1 Golf types have their place in the VW fold as the saviour of VW.

And, I agree that many brought their Campaigns at a premium price.

However, any MK1 in reasonable condition should fetch more than banger money - I note that the Mk2's are just coming out of that territory, and in many ways they are a better buy (rust mainly) - how long for the MK3's?
