1976 VW Golf Mk1 Yugoslavia Price List – TAS Sarajevo Transition Document – Type 171 “J”

Original period document relating to the early market introduction of the Volkswagen Golf Mk1 in Yugoslavia.

Dated 01.12.1976 (Ljubljana), this price list represents a rare transitional phase in which the Golf was offered both as an imported vehicle from Germany and as a locally assembled model via TAS Sarajevo.

The document clearly presents:

• Import pricing structures (DM-based with duties and taxes)
• Domestic pricing via TAS Sarajevo (CKD/local assembly)
• A separate detailed listing for Golf “J” (Type 171), including factory price, taxes, and total cost
• Period banking and payment structure (Privredna banka Sarajevo, foreign currency accounts)

Issued through Autocommerce Ljubljana, this is not a standard brochure but a functional sales document, rarely preserved, and highly relevant for documenting:

• the early commercial positioning of the Golf in Yugoslavia
• the transition from import to domestic assembly
• pricing realities of the mid-1970s Eastern European automotive market

For collectors:
This piece pairs historically with early 1974–1975 Golf launch brochures and represents the next stage in the model’s regional lifecycle.

Condition: original, with visible age-related wear (creases, marks consistent with period use – see photos).
