What is a Quirky Classic?

Not every classic car needs to break the bank! Our Quirky Classics range features older, stylish cars with charm, perfect for first-time buyers or anyone looking for something unique without the hefty price tag.

Why Choose One?

We have a serious passion for cars and an eye for something special. Certain vehicles came out with higher spec or sportier trim levels but still had a practical engine. Lets take the UK spec Citreon Saxo for example, this car is best known for its VTS and VTR performance ‘hot hatch’ models but the Citreon Saxo ‘Furio’ was sold with the same sporty wide arch body kit as the hot hatch models but was sold with a more practical 1.4 engine making this a popular choice for youngsters.

Is it right for you?

Do you live in a ULEZ zone ?
Are you paying higher insurance premiums due to your age ?

These are practical solutions for people wanting to own a classic but for whatever reason need it to be something different.

Volkswagen Citi Golf

When Volkswagen released the MK1 Golf in 1974, the car was an overnight success. It was easy and economical to drive with exceptionally good handling compared to other small hatchbacks of the time. It was also easy and inexpensive to maintain. Volkswagen South Africa started the assembly of the Golf Mk.1 in 1978.

In 1990, Volkswagen South Africa reintroduced the Golf Mk.1 GTi as the Citi CTi. Using basically the same 1.8-litre 82 kW Bosch K-Jetronic fuel-injected engine as the original Golf Mk.1 GTi, the Citi CTi was then the fastest Citi Golf ever made, with a top speed of just over 180 km/h. This was a welcome addition to the Citi Golf range, as it was aimed at younger drivers who were looking for a more zippy car at a more affordable price. The Golf Mk.2 GTi was too far up-market for the younger VW performance vehicle fanatics.

The original Citi Golf was only available in 3 colours (a fact highlighted in the contemporary advertising campaign which used a tagline “Red, Yellow, Blue… Not Green!”). In mid-1985, a new, high-performance Citi Golf variation was launched as a 1.6-litre carburettor-engined Sport using the advertising tagline “New Citigolf Sport, drive it home, Sport, drive it home.”

The 1.6-litre engine of the Citi Golf Sport was later replaced by a higher output 1.8-litre carburettor engine. Upon the launch of the Citi Golf Sport, a new colour, specially reserved for the Sport model, was also introduced. The red, yellow and blue paintwork was now also complemented by a black-with-white-decals colour scheme. A sedan version called the Fox (Volkswagen Jetta A1) was also produced, along with a coupé utility called the Caddy.
