Model Information

All Sportlines sold in the UK were GTIs.  The UK Sportlines did not come with the traditional Sportline 3-spoke steering wheel but, instead, came with the standard 4-spoke found on most other Cabriolet models.

A UK brochure (owned by Olivier in France) shows Jasmine Yellow as a third color; however, no Jasmine Yellow Sportlines have been found.  It's possible Volkswagen scrapped the yellow option after the brochure was printed, or the Jasmine color was merely a misprint.

Scale model available in red.

New replacement decals available on UK eBay.
