I spotted one of these..........a Caddy

Hi guys,

While shopping at Masters Hardware at Springfield in Brisbane today I spotted what I believe is a Caddy....a Golf ute.

I had never seen one before so couldn't help but snap a couple of pics on my phone.

If it belongs to anyone in here I do apologise but I thought it too unusual/uncommon to go unnoticed.

hope you offered to buy it off him!

rare indeed on our shores!

Holly mcdonalds. I want it it...

[polski_ogurek]

OMG, that is a dream car right there

[Glynn.]

GET THEIR NUMBER!!!
Seriously I want that thanks

[HuH]

So rare out here! Looks to be in a neat state as well. It would fetch a bit if he sold it.

I've been covertly looking for one for years.. Very nice.

It's a 1.6D and 100% standard

To the best of my knowledge there is about 6 Mk 1 caddys floating around Australia.

Pete at CVWC Kiama has a Matt Black 1.8T 20V that he took to the nationals this year, and (My apologies for not knowing who it is) someone on here has a orange one they are putting a VR6 into. Definatley a rare car here

Theres one in Tas, owned by a guy also on here, he is willing to sell if he gets the right price, talked to him a few months back, but it is a little out of my reach at this stage

Anybody really looking for a MK1 Caddy, let me know.

In South Africa these where built until 2006 ...... variety of engines, including 1.3, 1.6, 1.8 carbies and 1.6 fuel injected engines ..... Under the import rules you can privately import 1 built up to 31 December 1988 and a lot where built leading up to then with 1.6 and 1.8 carbie engines. Most are used away from the coast so the bodies are generally rust free.

Due to being built there parts are plentiful and cheap. And all right hand drive with 5 speed manual gboxes. Canopies (fibreglass) also plentiful as is other bits like towbars etc.

I may be able to assist in sourcing a good example. Fee to be discussed

Some inelligible late model examples ..... 1999 VOLKSWAGEN CADDY CLUB 1600 R 45,000 for sale | Auto Trader

2006 VOLKSWAGEN CADDY 1.6 SPORT R 49,900 for sale | Auto Trader

and for what its worth ... R50,000 is less than $6000 for a 2006 model Caddy .....

Got to be pre 1989 to avoid ownership for one year prior to import.

Yes, hence my post .... mid 1988 onwards looks just like the later models ....

I saw a Vw Mk1 Caddy for sale in South Africa the other day. Running a Vr6 turbo motor and 300kw on the wheels for $9000.
How nice will that be boys???
