JAKARTA - A rare Volkswagen Golf Harlequin hatchback from 1996 just entered Bring a Trailer (BaT) online auction on April 3. This car is one of only 264 units manufactured for the North American market, and has a unique and attention-grabbing body.
This Harlequin variant is known for its unique paint scheme. The base paint of this car is red Tornado Red, combined with yellow Ginster Yellow, green Pistachio Green, and blue Chagal Blue panels. This combination of colors makes the appearance very eye-catching and unusual.
The uniqueness continues into the interior. This car jockey is covered in gray cloth with four-color accents that are in line with the exterior. This fun nuance makes the cabin feel more attractive.
Reporting from the auction house page, April 3, for its kitchen runway, Volkswagen Golf Harlequin relies on a straight 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine mated with a 5-speed manual transmission. The engine's power generated was recorded at 115 dk and a 165 Nm torque.
Based on the digital odometer, this car has traveled as far as 79,000 miles (about 127,000 km). Interestingly, Golf Harlequin is said to be in a well-maintained condition with documents in the form of original window stickers, a clean Carfax report, and of course a valid Illinois title (STNK).

A Short History Of VW Golf Harlequin
At a glance at its history, the Harlequin Golf variant was inspired by Polo Harlequin's success which had previously been launched in Europe in more quantities, which was around 3,000 units. As a differentiator, the Harlequin Golf painting process is carried out in a unique way.
The body of the car is first painted with one basic color. Then, the panels are removed and painted in different colors. Then, the panel is re-installed randomly, so that there is no color directly adjacent.
With limited production and an eccentric paint scheme, the 1996 VW Golf Harlequin is certainly the target of classic car collectors and lovers.
