Thanks Pine. I remember you posted the pic of the dealer building, but I hadn't seen the showroom pic. Couldn't find your original post.

Hey Muds, are you from Cape Town????????
Thats no where near Chippini Street!
That is definately Strand street and maybe Long or Bree Streets
You should know that as the buildings in the foreground are from the old quarry and the Malay Quarter.

Cool... I traded in my Golf L on a fire engine red CSL which I took delivery of on 21 October 1984 from them. There were not many Golf II 's around then yet and it turned a lot of heads. It was on the cover of Car Magazine that same month, same colour too... I was 22 and very proud of my car, but very sad to leave my Elletjie.
