  • This model was made by ITT Schaub-Lorenz in Vienna, Austria. Having the units produced at the Ingelen factory was cheaper at the time for taxation reasons related to EFTA. In addition, a power unit NG3000 was included.

    The equivalent Austrian domestic model is the Golf automatic 100, with minor cosmetic differences.

    The wavebands on the dial are marked as FM, SW, MW, LW. The MW dial is marked with BBC Radio 4 stations North, Scotland, London, Midland, West. The FM dial is marked BBC2, BBC3, BBC4.
