Quote from: hayesey on March 07, 2025, 11:44:31 AMvery cool! So has this set a new record for a G40 sale price in the UK?

Please don't think I paid anything near the asking price, but yeah I am not sure what the top end price has been for a G40

Jabbasport still do them I think, I think JMR do them too: https://www.johnmitchellracing.co.uk/

Or you can ask PeteG40 on here, sometimes he has time to do charger services.

hey Sam

The charger was serviced and belt replaced last year with a handful of miles done since. Got my 1st proper drive out in it today and I had a smile from ear to ear!

I'd be changing the charger timing belt at the very least before running it btw. There is a guide on here I think on how to do it.

I want to recommission my G40 after about 10 year storage. Been garaged in dry conditions. I seem to recall there used to be a couple of garages that did charger refurbs and recons of G40s. Any recommendations?

cheers fella, looking forward to taking delivery of it on the 18th and giving it a good going over and getting it out once the salty roads are gone in spring.

Congrats on the purchase, it does look a nice example. There is a PH article on it from when it first went on sale if you've not seen it. https://www.pistonheads.com/news/ph-spottedykywt/gold-dust-grade-vw-polo-g40-for-sale/46568

hey Pete,

Flew down to London from the north east of Scotland to view this G on the weekend, I went with a long list and intention to check every nut and  bolt before contemplating buying but when the garage door opened I was SOLD! This G is coming to Scotland and I cant wait to cherish it.

It's been for sale for a long time, probably due to the price  which started something like 16k.

They are still 30+ years old, so bushes, corrosion etc can still get the better of them when stored.
