The appearance of the first Volkswagen Golf GTI in 1976 marked not only the debut of an internationally successful new car, but the creation of an entire new category - the 'hot hatch'.
Since then, there have been numerous imitations and rivals, but the Golf GTI was the inspiration of them all and, in most people's eyes, is still the best.
Through a combination of vivid colour photographs and informative captions, the author, Ian Wagstaff, traces the story of the cars from pre-production to the Mk3 version (and its headline-making stablemate, the 140mph Golf VR6), along with race and rally cars, modified examples and Golf GTIs at play or on show.
