Are you sure its not citrus red?

I am not 100% sure but I didn't think mars red was a Clayton's colour?

Im a lttle suspect with the colour cos the owner claims original paint (never resprayed) which it does look like. The red has faded into a more orangey colour as u can see:

Can u get the colour code from the VIN number so we can confirm?

Citrus red is more orange than mars red.
VIN does not list colour.
What is the VIN number anyway?

I don't think there would of been two reds in Australia.

A good read about Australian production is in the book "Volkswagen in Australia, The forgotten story." There are also many photos of Citrus Red Golfs.
