Appendix: Specialists and supploers
Making its début in 1976, the Golf GTI Mk I was the world's first 'hot hatch', defining the genre. VW's benchmark sporting hatchback has remained the class leader, and todays opulent Mk IV still bears the genes of its revered ancestors. This colour book - in series with 'You & Your' titles on the Jaguar XJS, Jaguar XJ40, Land Rover Defender and Subaru Impreza Turbo - covers the full road car and competition history.
