Quick question for everyone... Would it be legal to equip that car with an 8V and run it in ITB? Do the rules allow for that specific year to be run as a B car even though it's now equipped with a 16V? I can't remember whether there were 88 8V's or not...
I'm asking because we may be interested in the car for a friend, but probably don't want to be in ITA with it.
AFAIK, there's nothing in the VIN# to 'decode' to a 16v over an 8v, in a Mk II Golf. The only thing that I know that 'decodes', is a 1.5/6/6 and a 1.8 in a Mk I (Rabbit).
