Howdy people, im coming over from ClubPolo and hopefully get my hands on a Polo G40. I'm Currently hunting around seen a few Original and Converted yet im thinking that i will get an Original G40 just because they are very rare.
Been inlove with g40's every since i joined CP back in 2007 and i really really am in need of some G-Smilessssss :).
On another note, does anyone know where i could get some Scale Models from, iv hunted the interweb and came across nothing as of yet although i have seen a few people with them on CP!.
Anyone got an Original G40 - Black/Green/Blue/White, please give me a holla although i prob wont be buying till next year.
Thanks all,
Dean.
how do, welcome to the forum. Have you tried german ebay for those models? They're normally made by schabak so search for that.
There's usually a couple of g40s (real ones I mean) in the for sale section on here.
Thanks hayesey,
Seen a couple in the sales section but trying to look for an unmolested one and none are going wow at me atm really not sure of the colour i would like it in, and i will give german ebay a look!.
there's not many left that are in standard-ish and good condition, just keep an eye on the for sale section. Pistonheads is a good place to look too.
i have 1 of the G40 models still in the original VW box. think i got it from the bay a few years ago. will have a look on the box tonite and see if there is a company name rather than just VW
Welcome!
I've also got a couple of models, one is a red one from Vw but the box got smashed and the other is a black one still in it's box that my girlfriend bought off eBay the other week. Will dig it out an find out who makes it.
Dont know about a specific G40 scale model but the one I could only get was advertised a G40 but when i got it, the engine cover is a 3F engine (GT) but with G40 BBS RA wheels, although silver VW badge on front grille
On the underneath mine reads...
VW Polo

Im sure ive seen an actually G40 engine cover before though on someone models.
Hope that helps.

Welcome btw ;)
