SUMMARY
Rare Mk1 Golf Convertible 'Christmas Cabrio' Edition, one of only 693 that became known as the 'Lady Charme' edition.
DESCRIPTION
- The Golf Cabrio CC quickly became known as the ‘Christmas Cabriolet’, reportedly because 750 units were produced in the run up to Christmas 1985
- The majority were finished in Arctic White and sported Dark Blue soft-tops with blue appearing throughout including the "CC"-embossed upholstery, door panels and roof lining fabric. There had been a limited-edition, all blue GTi known as the CC so presumably they had some trim left over
- They were undoubtedly pretty and presumably were intended to become Christmas presents for wives and daughters
- In the event only 693 made it to the UK and a fair few were still in showrooms in the New Year. They were marketed hard by dealers and became known as 'Lady Charme' for some reason
- Mechanically they were similar to a standard 1.8-litre Golf with a five-speed gearbox
- This delightful example has covered just over 104,000 miles and is essentially original apart from a fresh coat of Arctic White and a new soft top with the correct headlining around three years ago
- The car is in lovely condition and, being a rare model, will fit nicely into someone's car collection
