Revell 67072 1/24 VW Golf 1 GTI Starter Set

Revell VW offered the first GTI only two years after its inauguration. The compact motorcar possessed what previously only sports cars had: light weight and a powerful engine (110 bhp). Additionally the car was suitable for everyday use and thoroughly affordable. The performance of this small 'powerhouse' was also quite comparable to that of contemporary small sports cars. Visually, the then most powerful Golf stood out through its wider wings, wider tires, sports steering wheel and a grill framed in red. Today the best seller of that period has achieved cult status. Maximum speed: 182 km/h (113 mph). Typical steering wheel. Faithfully reproduced dash-board for left or right hand drive versions. Rotating wheels. Generously dimensioned front spoiler. Imitation rubber tyres. Instructions and authentic decal set with various registration numbers (D, GB, F, NL, B, A, CH, I, S, DK). Model kits are designed for children aged 10 years and upwards.
