Morning Darwin,welcome to the club,your car in the uk is classed as a mark four.hope this helps would list all the years and models,but don't have time today,but I'm sure someone will fill you in asap
A:

yours will be a mk4.
mk1 is the "rabbit" in the states.
mk1: '74 - '82
mk2: '83 - '92
mk3: '91 - '98
mk4: '98 - '04
mk5: '04 - present
i think.
A:

More or less as they said, although I believe that in the States, the Mk1, 2 and 3 models were each continued for approx another year after production stopped in Europe.
I think there's a good summary on Wikipedia, under VW Golf, if you're interested.
A:

A:

Americans know them as A1, A2 etc.
