Please could somebody tell me whether my car is a Mark III or Mark IV VW Golf?

It was first registered in February 1998, but that's where the two types cross over. I need to know for fitting a Britax 123 car seat inside, as their website states that the seat belts are only just long enough on the Mark III.
Thanks!

1974-1984 - MKI
1985-1992 - MKII
1993-1998 - MKIII
1999-2006 - MKIV
The tenth digit of the VIN will tell you the model year (V=97, W=98, X=99). The MKIII's are boxier than the MKIV's. If you don't have access to the car, you can always check a sight like Autotrader.com and and compare how they look.

The Mark IV car was made from 1999-2005.
Your car is a Mark III.

look at the VIN plate under the bonnet.. will give you a good idea of the model, then you can work it out from that.

If you get the VIN from the chassis and phone VW they will be able to tell you ALL the details you need
the details will also be on the V5 document
This is a Mark III http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Volkswagen-Golf-MkIII.jpg
This is a Mark IV: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Golf4_1.4.jpg
