hi folks ive just purchased a 1989 golf gti 16v oettinger edition with 108k miles and a FSH, its been dyno,d and produces 182 bhp with no mods done it has all the correct oettinger dials,steering wheel,engine and boot stamps and full electrics ie windows mirrors and seats....and is marked oettinger on the tax book. Has anyone got an idea as to how rare these cars are as i thought they were only made in a mk1????? your wisdom will be greatly apprieciated thanks.

2.0 16v 182 bhp standard (built at factory with forged crank,rods, pistons. High lift cams, lifters, adjustable gear). Ported big valve head with matched inlet and exhaust manifolds.
Gearbox modified for 148mph top end
Electric recaros
electric windows and mirrors
Oettinger VDO gauges in Votex console
Oettinger steering wheel
remote central locking and alarm
The previous owner had an agreed insurance evaluation with HIC for £5000 stg due to its rarity. My research has just found 2 others of these in the UK, both small bumpers and neither oak green.
ive also been told that it was factory built car( costing £25k stg in 1989!!)

IAN..... this is exactly what i was after,some SERIOUS information!!
im in ireland and bought the car over here too,its still on the same reg (for now) but it went from scotland to northern ireland and eventualy to myself. i have not done much to the car sence i bought it but their is some TLC to be done .ie electrics are dodgie (1 window,mirrors and front fogs).. the engine runs great but really needs to be cleaned up properly and their is a small bit of bubbling starting to come up under the rear door i would also like to put the oreginal front grill back on.. any ideas where they can be bought new??? i have the two oettinger sticker you took off they came in the history box but are a bit far gone to put back on so yea i would be interested in buying your ones if you still have them..the rear seat hasn't got headrests anymore and theirs no leather in the car either, is this the way you sold it?? the exhaust is scorpio the whole way through and it still has the eibach coilovers in it (that deffo dont suit irish roads) but ive a full set of new ones to go in.The ins certs you asked about are in the folder too but the okuasa/powerhaus stickers are gone.... thanks very much for your reply id be very interested in gettin more info from u in the future..... heres a few more picks of her today as she stands
