Hey guys just thought I'd start a thread to see how many early ones we have in the country.

Currently I know of the red four door up in Auckland and then a white 4 door down around Dunedin (I saw pictures of it at the last Dunedin VW Nationals).

Any more??

Their was a fully rust damned one over in Te kopuru were I got my red mk1 from

RS ZWEI

4 doors were built in NZ so there were quite a few. Most of them have been lost to rust.

Most have gone now unfortunately.
There was a one owner green one that came up forsale in Dunedin a few years back & I kick my self I didn't buy it , it was an NZ assembled 5 door 1975.
And I recently heard of yet another in Dunedin that was part of a deceased estate, but sounds like it fell into the wrong hands ( if you know what I mean )
I heard, it was given to their teenage son who had no appreciation for it . To him it's just an old grandad car he doesn't want and last I heard it was actually scrapped because of what I would think are normal things to have to attend too, for a car that had Been sitting in dry storage for years.
Things like brakes & dry seals that go hard & start to leak . They just saw it as a burden.
Shame really.


So does any one know of some real genuine mint or low KM mk1
I'm sure there must be still some out there.

I had two Mk 1 Golfs, loved them both, but that was many years ago, they were only like 7 years old at the time
First was a 1979 1.5 & later on a 1981 , both 5 door , both German assembled but NZ new, great cars

I have a Miami Blue 76 with 130,000 on the clock. It isn't MINT at all though but is completely original!

Pictures! Also there was a 4 door metalic green car floating around for a while. Not sure who has it  now.
