However, when it comes to expensive Citi Golfs, this one takes the cake.
An owner in Port Elizabeth is asking for 1.2 million rand for his limited edition 2009 Citi Golf Mk1, and not only is it the third last Citi ever produced, it also has just 17 miles on the clock and there is a special story behind it.
