Oxford Diecast VW Golf GtT Diamond Copper Brown Metallic

VW launched their Golf hatchback in 1974 as a successor to the VW Beetle, with the GTi version appearing a year later in 1975 - a highly popular choice for young drivers with an ego to feed in particular, added to which the GTi had an acceleration capacity from 0-60 mph in 9 seconds, enabling them to roar off into the dust!

This release on our 1:76 scale VW Golf GTi is registered CBY 964Y from 1982/83. Painted in metallic brown with black interior, additional masking to the exterior body is finished in black while the wheels are silver. A special detail to note is the red surround to the radiator grille. The GTi badge also features on the grille, as well as the Golf GTi marque reproduced in silver across the back.

1983 was the last year of production before VW launched the MkII version of the Golf GTi but despite this, UK sales were over 25,000 that year, making it the 14^th most popular car on the market.
