Title: Mk3 Polo Magazine PDFs - lots of G40 stuff
Post by: Alex on February 21, 2011, 10:06:01 pm
Getting my old desktop PC going means I've FINALLY got around to turning all of the various magazine scans I've downloaded over the last decade into PDF files.

I didn't scan any of these, so while I accept a few of them aren't very good quality there's not much I can do. Sorry!

You'll find the files here (http://www.polog40.co.uk/pdf), either individually or as a ZIP file:

Performance Car, October 1990 - Polo G40 road test
Autocar and Motor, June 1991 - Polo G40 road test
Dimensions for the Mk3 Polo hatch and breadvan, scanned from a 1991 brochure
Fast Lane, October 1991 - Polo G40 vs Corrado G60 twin test
Performance Car, November 1991 - Polo G40 vs Clio 16V vs R5 GT Turbo vs 205 GTI group test
VW Car and Driver, 1994 - Mk4 Polo revealed (news story)
VW Car and Driver, 1994 - Mk3 Polo Parade and Match launch (news story)
VW Car and Driver, 1994 advert for the Mk3 Polo Boulevard
VW Motoring, October 1994 - Polo G40 Cup feature
The Golf, April 1996 - Polo G40 feature car
VW Motoring, February 1997 - Polo G40 staff car feature
Fast Car, June 1997 - Polo G40 feature car 'G40 BAD'
Performance VW, June 1998 - PVS Polo G40 feature car
VW Motoring, October 1998 - Steve Morris's Polo G40 Genesis feature car
Golf Xtreme, date unknown (1998?) - Club G40 rolling road day
Volkswagen Audi Car, April 2000 - Polo G40 nostalgia piece
The Golf, March 2001 - Mk3 Polo 16V feature car

I've got a few more to upload, but I can't find the files at the moment.

It's a fresh upload, probably still processing. I've had this before with Megaupload, but keep trying.

Hopefully I'll be able to just forward them to you and not upload all the files again! I'll do it now.
