    Lightbulb Simon's rare Golf MK3 GTI

    Hi all.

    This is 'Gary', my 1996 VW Golf MK3 GTI.

    A rare model in Australia (i.e.never released here), I imported it on my return to Australia from the UK in 2009.

    This 1996 MK3 Volkswagen Golf GTI is an iconic modern classic hot hatch.

    It is powered by a 2.0-litre naturally aspirated inline-four cylinder engine, driven through the front wheels via a five-speed manual transmission.

    The car is originally a UK-delivered model, which I imported into Australia and is now located in Sandringham, VIC.

    As nice as 'Gary' is, it is a pity he is not the even rarer MK3 GTI 16V.

    Mk3 GTIs (8V only) were also available in South Africa, where the top MK3 was the VR6 ( owned a silver VR6 and loved it).

    I had a 2-door '94 GTI Mk3 8v in white with a crossflow head back in Brazil (in the early 2000s), and I miss that car so much. I’d love to have another one.
