Repair shop down the street has had one on their lot for 3 or 4 years now, now I know why...
edit Street view or it didn't happen:

now I know why...
Why?
Ain't nothing but a heartache
31 year old VW...
The one left of it is about 60 years old
Specific to VW paint job called Harlequin. Looks terrible but is legit OEM paintjob and is super rare to see in the wild. If you saw one, consider yourself lucky. 10 times the luck if you saw one somewhere outside Germany.
Looks terrible
Agree to disagree, I think it's fun and whimsical. People take their cars too seriously nowadays.
Knowing nothing about this car I assumed it was just a Jamaican custom paint job, as it's pretty much the Jamaican colors
To me, it just is a special kind of whimsical. I maybe not gonna like it as much as many nice colors some cars offer. But I'd take it over modern black/white/gray painted cars any day.
It looks like an old beat up car for which the owner bought used body parts and didn't bother painting them.
Not even just rare, but each color combination is unique
There are websites who track their current known status
I had a jacket like that c. 1991. It was fly
I'm guessing you're a white guy
It kind of was peak car:
I was curious what color would be used for the registration for these. Online it says that either the chassis/unibody determined the base color or they were registered as “multi-colored”.
I for one would love to see more colorful cars on the market :)
The rear quarter panel is the original chassis paint and registration color. This one's red.
It would be nice if car manufacturers made fun, affordable, reliable cars again. Instead of monster trucks or high end luxury cars with paid electric limited performance packages.
That particular generation of Golf had some insane issues that only a German company could engineer. Did you know that the coolant tank would start leaking, and the symptoms showed up after coolant had wicked up the wiring harness and started shorting out the gauge cluster?
The driver's mobile phone:
One of my teacher had a phone like that, but she drove a convertible 1995 Ford Mustang, and smoked using a cigarette holder.
Not sure what is says about my school....
Almost perfect - only thing missing is a set of Ronal Teddy rims, like on this Golf Harlekin.
These were unironically great cars, would absolutely still drive today.

This car is dressed like it's got a sitcom on UPN.
This should have been the livery for runabouts on Voyager.
I swear this was VW's equivalent to trying to cook with all the items in the fridge that are about to expire.
This is the Volkswagen Harlequin, and are very rare. Only 264 were made. https://www.motorbiscuit.com/what-is-volkswagen-harlequin-car/
I just checked: your numbers are for the north american region for the golf Mk3 version, this picture is of the VW Polo III version, where apparently 3806 were made.
The Benetton Polo, there was a golf too and an F1 team
Wow, I was JUST looking for this color scheme yesterday, to recreate it in My Summer Car.
Ok bear with me:
A Fiat Multipla with this paint.
Not just any Multipla.
The 1300 horsepower 1000tipla:

Is that the pope car?
