[] Caddy Type 14
Released in 1980, the first VW Caddy is a light pickup truck and van based on the Volkswagen A platform, shared with the small family car VW Golf Mk.I.
It was also known in North America as the VW Rabbit Pickup, Pickup LX, and Sportruck (the Caddy nameplate was not used in the U.S. since it was slang for Cadillacs), which competed with other mini-pickups such as the Ford Courier of that time.
As of 2006, they are still produced in South Africa. The stamping equipment was shipped from Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, the home of Volkswagen's only U.S. manufacturing plant, now defunct.
The 1980-1984 Caddy pickup used the following engines:
* 1.0 petrol
* 1.3 petrol
* 1.5 petrol
* 1.6 diesel
