Good luck with that, there is a plastic model kit by Fujimi:

I ordered it in at the local hobby shop and ended up with a MK3 GTI kit instead, which will tide me over in the meantime while I try to hunt up a VR6 one.

As for a die cast model, I would love to find a 1:18 die cast Mk3 in any variant, but it seems they just don't exist. MK4's yes (which I have), but no Mk3's.
(on a side note, the Mk4 "GTI" has a 1.9TDI under the bonnet for some reason

)

There used to be a shop near the corner of Elizabeth and Flinders Lane, Melbourne (I think). Used to sell model cars like these. Wouldn't mind picking up a Mk5 (for my nephew of course!)

Anyone know the shop?

Is it the one across the river from the crown casino and right next to/under the train lines? The one I am thinking of of is a short walk down the road from the train station in a small group of very old shops. I think some of the other shops were like a knitting/sewing shop and another was a CD shop??

If it's that one, I went in there a few years ago when I was down that way and was very imressed with the stock. I'm pretty sure last time I was down there it was closed down.

EDIT: Oh wait!! I know... there is another one that is actually attached to the Flinders street station building, or a building very close by. You have to walk down a set of stairs to underneath the building where the hobby shop is....is that it??
