Title: Factory Mk2 Golf GTI 16V's In New Zealand
Post by: RS ZWEI on March 28, 2013, 03:28:41 PM
With all the 6 pages of interest in the for sale section: http://www.vask.org.nz/index.php/topic,31808.0.html

I thought I would see if we can put a list of all the factory Mk2 Golf GTI 16V's in the country, whether they are NZ new or import (Not interested in SA cars) or dead.

Copy and paste the list if you want to contribute:


NZ new Mk2 Golf GTI 16V's:


Imported Mk2 Golf GTI 16V's:



Feel free to add any photos or stories.

Hmmm - saffy 16v's being excluded because they're  not the right spec - I've got one and have yet to find anything different.
Can anyone say what the differences are?

PM919  1990 5 door black

It's a pretty special example because the only modifications are the ATS cups and the central locking has been replaced with electric actuators) so is close to original. Has just haad new shocks and every single bit of rubber in the suspension replaced - so handles just like they did out of the factory.

Avaiable to buy as long as you're not going to butcher it

The one you say is written off is in the hands of a member who I forget the name of (golfclass I think is his forum name) who has gone to Aussy at the moment but I think he has it mostly repaired and waiting to revin it on his return.
There is also the white one of the drummer from Cut Off Your Hands who i damn well forgot his name at the mo too! God damn names....

That's one of my old ones. It was a UK import.
But the NL1928 was NZ new 16v, and yes was converted to 20v and sold to Balin.

There's also the red NZ new 3dr (used to be NR8619, now ERP553) formerly owned by typ53 and Simon II (and others?)

There are a few UK imports I can think of too - a green 3dr (has been posted on this forum), blue 3dr (plate started with SN????) and a red 5dr

Cheers, yeah it was a nightmare to be honest, didn't enjoy the whole entry certification process but glad its all legal now. The car is currently getting a mini front-end/engine rebuild, but should have it back on the road before summer comes. I'm based in Christchurch.

Does anyone know much more about it?

Yip, Mk2 Simon owned it and put steel wheels on it. Then Choopy purchased it and repainted it. I think it ended up with running coilovers?

Yeah, it's in a bit more of a state than the picture earlier in this thread! Planning on an engine rebuild (have ordered the parts already) which should be a steep learning experience given I've never taken an engine apart but hoping I can get some help off here when needed! Will start posting once I get into it.

Was that the really mint original one?  In a way it would be a shame if it has been converted

Nik - you've missed NR8619 / ERP553 again (1987, red 3dr small bumper)

Wasn't there at least one Oak Green UK import in NZ?  And I'm sure I test drove a metallic blue UK import 3dr small bumper at one stage (a LONG time ago)

I've got one. White German 2 door KR. Rebuilt completely 2003-2004. Been in a farm shed the last 6 years. Was a good daily driver before it went in the shed. Rego has been on hold since I left.

Not looking too flash right now, covered in birdcrap. Mechanically should be ok. More to come on the re-rebuild I suspect.

NJ9653 was privately imported to NZ from Germany in 1988. Hasn't seen a lot of the road in the last 12 months but is garaged and comes out occasionally. I've had it for 6 years, with another 3 or 4 owners prior.
