RE: MKII options (cruise control)



Hi,
     I don't know if this confuses this issue further, but my 87 8v has factory
cruise (along with air, PS, PB, electric locks, sunroof and heated seats).  I
know it's all factory because I have the papers to prove it.  It was also a
very late 87 (Nov according to the door tags).

Cheers,
Colin
