Identity Crisis!

Howdo all,

Had my car 4 years now and I'm still not totally sure what breed she is!
On the v5 it says she's a Scala but the badges on the b-pillars say she's a GTII....
The spec doesn't seem to match either models. It's a 1781 carburettor EX with no power steering, no efa computer, no sunroof. But has the tartan seats and colour coded bodywork.
She's a 1989 on a G plate.
Can anyone help me suss it out??

Cheers muchly

It's a GTII.

Lots of errors between VW and DVLA - apparently there are 14 GLi Autos on the road despite such a thing never being made.

Ahh ok awesome cheers lads.

Joost have pm'd you. And a dvla hiccup is what I thought most likely - love that about the GLI autos!

Not much of an expert but done a bit of reading n always figured the GTII's were a similar spec to the Scala? This one's got a few bits which match up but seems pretty basic otherwise (not complaining, less bits to look after!) Maybe just a throwback?

Cheers again fellas

Thanks for the link James - also found this page on the site which I think explains it... European GTII'S, high spec, UK GTII'S more basic. Solved.
