China is a goldmine for this stuff.
Until 2013, they made the made the VW Jetta in China.
Not sure if this is still made, but the Peugeout 206 went to China as a Citroen C2.
A whole load of 90s Citroens and Peugeots are or were recently sold there with updated front and rear ends.
Yes - loads of VW Santana, Audi 100 and Citroen ZX taxis out there. The mk1 SEAT Toledo seems popular too. Don't know if any of those are still made, but they certainly were until recently. Until 2013, they made the made the VW Jetta in China.

I've a feeling they still make the Maestro and/or Montego somewhere.
Wasn't there a Chinese company mating the front end of the Montego to the A-pillar of the Maestro?I'm not entirely sure what the benefit of that was

I didn't know they were around until 2001 though. Are there any 51 plate Maestros still out there?

There isn't really a market for Citi Golfs in the UK as they are only made in 5 door which limits the appeal
I think there is a market, but you're right that that takes some of the appealThe fit/finish even when using 40 year old tooling is not bad, the interiors are far superior but for me too many doors. I'd sooner find a uk/euro sourced 1.1/1.3 non sunroof if I were to have another.

I think the CitiGolf has only recently stopped being made, Mk2 Golf body but loads of weird things inside, much newer dashes shoehorned in etc.
I thought the CitiGolf was more or less the Mk1 body? It stopped a few years ago; I recall reading about the anniversary editions they were planning. http://topcar.co.za/news/news-articles/goodbye-cit...
