    Mk1 Golf in Australia

    This is not related to anything that I own or technical.

    Is there any official Australia released Mk1 Golf, in any model, doesn't matter GLS, LS, GTI. etc.etc. If yes, were they imported from German or built in Australia ? I know VWA built Bug here in old days, what about Golf.

    '76 Golf LS was made in Australia from CKD kits in Clayton, Victoria.

    '78 to '81 GLS, GLD were imported from Germany.

    That mean, anything that claim to be Mk1 Gti, must be a personal import ?
