Good bye to the Golf MK1 / CitiGolf


So while the rest of the world had stopped production of the Golf 1, in the late 80’s about the only country where the CAR was still produced was South Africa. Now over 25 years later, production has stopped. Now i have always been a Veedub guy, every car i have owned except for my current one has been a VW! The car was often the first car people owned and many South African’s most likely have fond memories of it. I think the car will always be remembered as an Integral part of ZA culture.

My first car was one of the original MK1’s from the 80’s it was like 20 years old and was a beat up old crap but damn it was fun, and i have fond memories! If BMW’s motto is sheer driving pleasure, VW is definitely sheer FUN! I think one of the best cars and most fun cars to drive is the Golf V GTI.

People are currently bidding +- R 50,000 extra then the market value on one of the last cars off the production run.

You can say good bye to the citi golf as they are touring the country, you can also sign your name on the last one ever produced. The car will be in Johannesburg on the 16 November, at Kyalami… ill see you there!

You can say goodbye to the citi
