50th Anniversary Soft top?

I was in Eindhoven today and at the customer site car park was a lovely looking 50th anniversary, at first I thought it might have been an SV as it was a soft top, but on inspection, was genuine.

I didn't realise they did a soft top. 2016 D4 HSE

They didn't, probably a home conversion. Was it RHD or LHD?

As above, the 50th never had a soft top variant! An engine to TDi for!

Actually, I'm not sure...

I took a photo from behind though. Maybe a converted hard top?

Could well be a converted hard top, that's certainly most likely. Could also be a 'replica' 50th edition... An engine to TDi for!

No rear quarter chequer plate on by the look of it and no rear flaps (but they could of been taken off anyway)

There's a very nice 50th for sale of the bay of E at the moment though... Cheers,

Given what appear to be black arches, it could be a 90SV that's had a 50th badge and bumper nailed on. Darren
