Model Information

The sportiest of the Cabriolets and, while quite popular in the last two production years, sadly, VW never brought this model to North America.

All Sportlines sold in the UK were GTIs. The UK Sportlines did not come with the traditional Sportline 3-spoke steering wheel but, instead, came with the standard 4-spoke found on most other Cabriolet models.

A UK brochure (owned by Olivier in France) shows Jasmine Yellow as a third color; however, no Jasmine Yellow Sportlines have been found. It's possible Volkswagen scrapped the yellow option after the brochure was printed, or the Jasmine color was merely a misprint.

Scale model available in red. New replacement decals available on UK eBay.
