Special Edition Golf Cabriolets
A list of Special Edition Mk1 Golf Cabriolets. This does not include 'normal' production models.
The items marked with a check (✓) came standard with the listed edition, but optional extras could also be purchased as well.
Not all editions were available globally. Many were restricted to a particular country or region.
A very excellent and more complete list is available over at Cabby Info. I've also sourced information from the Mk1 Golf Owners Club UK.
