I’ve worked as a main dealer tech with VW & Audi since 1997. The Rallye was rare even then, in fact I only worked on 1… it was during a time when VW & Audi were making really special things, G40 Polo’s, Audi/Porsche RS2’s, Mk3 Golf colour concept GTI’s, harlequin’s & The Corrado, the list is almost endless & I’m glad I started my career when I did… nothing is special anymore, modern cars are soulless with no character… love your videos Jonny, thank you 😊

Epic find, Jonny. Always loved Rallye Golfs. I think the red Mk2 you showed (pictured at your show) is a regular G60. The G60 Limited was a bit of a sleeper: five-door shell, small bumpers, single headlight grille with a black VW roundel and a nice little Volkswagen Motorsport badge with matching pinstripe. I believe the earlier ones were finished in metallic graphite grey and the later ones in metallic black. I seem to recall they with came with BBS RM split-rims. Last time I saw one for sale it was going for about £60,000. A lot of money but worth it IMO.

Had a Mark 2 Golf GTI in Tornado Red from new in 1986 (replaced a Polar White Astra GTE that was written off). Absolutely loved it - it just felt so solid and so much feedback driving it compared to the Astra. Sold it to my brother in law after a couple of years and got a new 205Gti. That rattled more after just 4 weeks than the Golf ever did. One car that I wished I could have kept - happy memories. Loved the G60 Rallye at the time but financial circumstances meant it was way out of my league. Think that the grey really suits the muscular shape of the car. Just a shame about the wheels...... Keep on doing what you're doing Jonny - these finds are getting even more incredible. Best channel on You Tube.

G60, I never got around to owning one, but I had 3 X 92 polo g40s and an 89 g40, all bought crashed, in my french department (46) at one point I owned all but 2 they ever sold there. The handling was erratic, huge lift off understeer mixed with the odd bit of snap oversteer as the chassis was too flexible. I fitted 6 point cages and strut tie bars to mine to solve the issue. Huge fun.

Living on Sarajevo for a few years, I sometimes spent Sunday mornings between 2000 and 2002 at a huge car market. Much of the stock was "liberated" from Zurich, Munich and elsewhere. It was a sort of Brick Lane on acid. The MkII Golf had a hero status on Bosnia; they had been built for quite a few years for the domestic market at a plant just outside Sarajevo. But I digress ..... Among many funky cars of dubious origin at the car market (Autopijaca) one would see the odd Golf Country and VERY occasionally a G60 or even a Golf Rallye. It was a lucky dip for the brave back then. If you knew someone who could "help" with registration, the world was your oyster. I drove a 1986 Jetta GLi that seemed never to need an MoT (Tehnički Pregled). I just sent the papers off and they came back stamped. But I was never quite brave enough to bargain for a fancy blown Golf or a 405 T-16x4 or any of that fancy stuff. And it was all there if you were brave.
