Did any MK3s come with cruise control ? I realize its not something you really want on a sports car but handy never the less when going through average speed camera areas :)
Say it with love, say it with flowers but never, never, say it in writing.

                                     The idea is to die young as late as possible :)

Wasn't ever an option from new but Monkey Wrench in the States made a retro fit unit now out of stock

Very dusty faint memory, did it also have something to do with the SMT version.

May have imagined that, so best to ignore.

 :) it was never  a option :)
bigbear ( Simon) has had it fitted at over £500 i believe :-\
also available   for roughly the same amount  heated seats

Call the midlife!

Just for clarity for Tiger, Simon's is an SMT.
60% of the time it works everytime...

It was fitted standard on SMT in some markets ( mine coúld/should? have had it but doesn´t). This makes total sense because the SMT has an electrically operated throttle valve. The ECU is already programmed to govern it.
Never read anything on it being optional. Maybe papa bear can shed some light on it. Mind, I DO want it NOT on my car but it still is  8)  to knów.

Here spyderchat on it
