You have to be one mad person or hardcore Volkswagen enthusiast to travel close to 5000km to save a rare 1996 Golf Harlequin.
Jamie Orr is the man behind this remarkable resto, he runs a business that specialises in Volkswagen parts while he also writes for a number of VW publications.
Housed at a wrecking yard in California, he bought the Golf sight unseen but the pictures online highlighted that the car wasn’t in running condition and needed A LOT of work.

The mixed matched coloured Harlequin model was introduced in the '95 Polo range before being added to the Golf line-up during 1996, and only 264 were ever made.
Jamie flew from Pennsylvania with all the components and tools required to bring the Golf back to life; assembled a small team and got to work.
After replacing all the necessary parts, Jamie was able to drive the little Golf out of the wrecker's yard and begin his road trip.
