Thread: Vento?

  1. #1

    Vento?

    I saw an ugly booted Golf the other night in traffic and I just presumed it to be a personal import until I checked on redbook and found them to be an officially supplied model.
    Does anyone have any idea of how many were sold here?

    PS - The ugly booted Golf was a paraphrase from PVW Mag. I'm a fan - really.

    I'm guessing 200 were sold here as that seems to be the magic number for rare official models. I can sell you some Hottuning coils for $850 that would make it look sweet.

    There are 3 for sale on Drive with them up for about the same money as an equivalent Mk3 Golf.
    Slammed on some mesh for the victory.
    As an aside Robin did I buy some Hotwires off you a while ago that got flogged out of your car?

    The Vento was sold here from mid 1995-early 1997.
    About 400 were sold locally,with a few others coming in from South Africa as personal imports.
    It was also called the JETTA 3 in many other parts of the world,where it was very popular.
    It saved VW in America,and easily outsold the Golf thereby a huge margin.

    Didn't know this!!! No wonder there's so many modded examples there.
