Volkswagen Golf 8 Swedish wheels – 1988

Share Button

C & rsquo; is in the years 80 that this particular golf appeared in a Swedish living. The only thing we really know is that its creator is named Ari Koskinen and that he officiated in Västerås.

A Golf 8 wheels with butterfly doors and look d & rsquo; Audi yet it does not go unnoticed ! Yet there is almost nothing left of it.

C & rsquo; so is a mini article SixMania.fr I propose aujourd & rsquo; hui.

Pictured in the living room, you see these 2 pictures on the stand, but impossible to find a match on the Internet…

I found an article from a Swedish magazine, the legend under the Golf says :
Finally, he came with his car. Ari Koskinen's eight-wheeled VW Golf left no one unscathed. Everyone had a comment on the gull wing doors. (2021)

I mostly found a new photo (2021) in very bad condition… If you have a better one, that would be pretty cool for the article, thank you !

With the software we have today on Android, it is possible to have information on foreign license plates, and therefore on this Swedish plate that says :

Pál Négyesi est un journaliste Hongrois, it allowed us to move things forward a little by finding the date of the event, in 1988 and a new picture.

FULL HOUSE.
When the finished creations of the finalists were presented to the public at Motorsport Custom & Motor Show at Elmia in 1988, the stand attracted great interest. The country's young car-making elite congregated here, and then we could follow many of them for decades. PHOTO: ARCHIVES DU SPORT AUTOMOBILE

When the custom builder trend was at its peak in the mid-20s 80, car brands got hooked when Bilsport held a competition for car manufacturers. Six brands were represented, six builders were eliminated and completely crazy creations were born. At the end of the day, it was not possible to choose a winner – everyone won.

Ari Koskinen has d & rsquo; other customisations, and in particular on Mercedes, we find traces, but c & rsquo; is another topic…

If you know the Golf, or its creator, feel free to email me at marc@sixmania.fr or leave me a comment below, thank you 😉
