1994 VW Fox - 1800cc Sport	1988 VW Fox - 1600cc	1993 VW Fox - 1300 Trippa  (baseline model)

Big thanks to Conrad Baudin from Pretoria, RSA for telling me about the Volkswagen Fox in South Africa.

Here's what Conrad was able to tell me:

The following from memory only - certainly not guaranteed 100% accurate!

The Fox had only one facelift during its life here, in roughly 1990.  As you'll note, it used the nose of the Golf rather than the more expensive Jetta I square-eyed look.  (SA and European Golfs never had the rectangular headlights some Rabbits seemed to have, nor did they have the big 5mph bumpers.) You'll see in the picture of the blue Fox that the nose is pretty much original Golf I.  The facelift - for both Citigolf and Fox - saw big one piece plastic bumpers added incorporating the front air dam with similar ones at the rear.  The front wings (fenders?) were modified to accept these.  The grille projected at the lower edge to meet these.  If you look closely you'll see that the smaller inboard driving lights on the original are placed higher than on the modified model.  Foxes had 1300, 1600 or 1800 ("Sport") carburetted engines (they were never fuel injected - and only one Citigolf was, the now defunct CTi). Early 1300's (I think) had 4 speed gearboxes but 5 speed boxes were otherwise across the board. Right at the end of the Fox's life here a stripped down baseline model, the Fox Trippa, arrived and I believe that the 1300 was 4 speed. (The Trippa was sold in any colour - as long as it was white or red - and had white enamelled steel wheels.)

Here are some more pictures, complete with captions, also provided by Conrad.

	Pre-facelift Fox 1600 - Note how the reverse lights have moved from where they were in the Jetta 1 down into slots in the rear bumper, lower door appliqué unique to early Foxes, Fox badge is a moulded plastic affair.		This is basically the dashboard used in all Golf and Jetta 1's from 1981 and in Foxes and in Citigolfs up to today (subject to colour, trim and instrumentation variation). This example is my borrowed 1994 Golf GTS (actually, it's my mother's).  Unique to GTS and GTi Golfs and CTi Citigolfs are the three gauges in the console (oil pressure, oil temp and voltage) and the sports steering wheel.
	This is a post-facelift Fox 1300 - the basic model before the Trippa appeared. Note the big plastic bumpers, the reverse lights have moved back to their original Jetta location, there is a filler panel between the lights and the (in this picture almost invisible) Fox badge is now a transfer/appliqué.		The increasingly rare Citigolf CTi 1800.
	Just for interest's sake - this is the 1984 GTS I'm using at the moment.		And so is this.  The colour coded bumpers mark it as a run-out model.  Up to six months before Golf II came out these had plain grey plastic bumpers and a black rubbing strip rather than a red one.
