Different editions February 15, 2021, 09:30:04 AM So whilst looking for a particular model I found this.www.vwvortex.com/threads/vw-mkii-variants-editions-list.2776213
Re: Different editions Reply #1 – February 15, 2021, 11:06:25 AM Good that you found it, but a little sad you didn't find it within this site. I guess Google isn't working in our favour. We've already got this covered in the knowledge Library with a few additional links to specific models:ModelsSpecical Editionshttps://www.vwgolfmk2.co.uk/clubforum/index.php?topic=56.0I think a lot of the initial info may have come from there. 1 Likes

Re: Different editions Reply #7 – February 18, 2021, 08:50:31 AM Definately Riviera. 1989 Mk2 1.3 poverty spec. I'm unable to get a picture at the moment. This is assuming no one has stuck decals on it
Re: Different editions Reply #8 – February 18, 2021, 11:13:18 AM Sometimes local dealers created their own 'editions'. Wondering where this was first registered, could I take a punt and say Torquay?There's something nagging at the back of my brain that makes me think I have come across this before though. Or maybe it was just you raising this previously. I believe Riviera is related to camper van (T2 specifically) conversions. I know there were a number of authorised companies that did conversion, ie. Devon, and Danbury. Perhaps it's something to do with the same company.
Re: Different editions Reply #9 – February 19, 2021, 07:05:32 PM Without checking the original registration office would have Exeter. I get the Riviera connection. I know there is paperwork but I've not seen it yet. You never know it may have been part of a package or built to order for someone local or as a holiday car. I'll get a picture of the graphics when I can. 1 Likes
Re: Different editions Reply #10 – March 19, 2021, 11:01:02 AM So here is the picture. I forgot to do the sides which are a decal and dotty. So is it a model or not? [attachment deleted by admin due to attachment age]
Re: Different editions Reply #11 – March 19, 2021, 11:15:15 AM Never seen that before ... many people added stickers back in the day “special” was a favourite if I recall , there would be more add ons than a sticker if it was an edition
Re: Different editions Reply #12 – March 19, 2021, 01:00:38 PM It's not in keeping with the styling of any of the VW specials, but it also isn't quite the 'special', 'turbo', 'luxury' type universal sticker popular in the likes of Charlie Browns Autocentre back in the day.So as mentioned before, and based on the location of the original purchase I still suspect this was a local dealer 'edition'.
