First Generation VW Caddy (Type 14) 1979 – 2007
Based on the Volkswagen Golf Mk1, the first Caddy was released for sale in 1979 in North America as the VW Rabbit, with the Caddy name only being used once it was launched in Europe and South Africa in 1982. This generation of Volkswagen Caddy was only ever available as a pickup (bakkie), both here in South Africa as well as abroad. Did You Know? The First Generation VW Caddy was discontinued everywhere but in South Africa in 1996, with production in South Africa continuing until 2007. In fact, the original stamping equipment was shipped from the closed plant in Westmoreland USA that first produced the VW Rabbit and Golf Mk1. This extremely long production run, as well as the reliability and great build quality of the Caddy, means that there are still many First Generation VW Caddy Bakkies found on South African roads.
