Which model?
You could get 325ix's and 525ix's here, but they're pretty few and far between

Mk2 golfs come in a range of 4 wheel drive variants Rallye, Sychro, Country etc.
Merc 190 Cosworth with 4x4 and a proper YB would be awesome.

I'm with Tabetha, a 4x4 2CV with some power would be brilliant as a sleeper
