JoyceyVW - March 30th, 2012 at 10:26 PM

hey guys !

Looking for a mk1 golf 2 door or 4 door or a mk1 caddy (1979). dont want to spend more than 3K. cant find any mk1 caddys anywhere in aus.. does anybody know where they are all hiding !? found a few nice golfs in other states but not many in vic at the moment !

cheers guys

You'd be hard pressed to find a caddy for sale sorry, as they were never sold in OZ

They do pop up rarely, but you have to be trawling all the watercooled type forums constantly.


I have a very nice 76 3dr here, but want more than $3K for it once I've tidied it up sorry

there is a caddy for sale in Melb but yes you will need more beans for it...

plenty of mk1 golfs around thou, you should find one easily enough

Plenty of Mk1's, not many caddy's. As said before

Check out vwwatercooled.org.au forum. If they are going to pop up then they will pop up there.

Cheers Paul

anybody know of many mk1 jettas ? seem hard to find also... thoughts and opinions ?


AA003 - April 3rd, 2012 at 07:12 AM

No Mk1 Jettas were sold in Australia.

Did you check out VW Watercooled?

Search for a guy called Lawny, he is in Torquay and has a nice green mk 1. It is a very well looked after car and in your price range. It has been for sale for a while so you will need to look a few pages in.

Let me know if you can't find it, I can try to PM the link for you.

Cheers Paul

OK I'll ask the dumbo question, I thought a vw caddy is a small van reasonably late addition to the stable. Pics please.

There's a few for sale down here... If you have some plates, bring em over, attach and drive them back... one unreg, but ready for rego in good shape, coilovers, etc $2100 on tas.gumtree.com.au and I could fix you up with one partially assembled for less, with a bit of motivation I could assemble... I have a 2-door also which I am prepping for sale which does run, but it's auto... happy to sell with a manual box as a spare though..... Plenty to choose from under your budget....


JoyceyVW - April 11th, 2012 at 06:18 PM

seen the few in tas, what condition is the 2dr in that you have ? pics ? havent really considered bringing it over from tas... hmm
