Few, if any, cars have better defined Europe's motoring habits of the last 40 years than Volkswagen's ubiquitous Golf, now in its seventh iteration. There have inevitably been many special versions during that time, of which the Golf Country is one of the rarest. Based on the MK2 model, it was designed for light off-road driving and manufactured in concert with Steyr-Puch. Standard features included: Synchro four-wheel drive; additional suspension travel; 21cm of additional ground clearance; bullbars front and rear; underneath protection for the engine and transmission; and spare wheel mounted on a swing-away frame at the rear. A total of around 5,108 were produced in the early '90s, all in left-hand drive form, and mostly powered by VW's stalwart Golf powerplant in 1.8-litre 8-valve guise. Around 558 Country's were the de-luxe 'Chrompaket' version that featured: chromed wheels, bull bars and side steps; sliding sunroof; pre-heaters for the engine and interior; and beige leather trim.

This example was purchased by the vendor in Holland seven years ago following a long search, and is thought to be one of only two in the UK. Said to be in 'very good overall condition', it has covered some 197,000km and comes complete with MOT until July 2016.
