Service history

3 registered keepers from new:
First owner from new to 43k, letter from owner in history, serviced himself
Second owner bought at 43k in 1992, and then passed on to family member - possibly because they emigrated, as there are a few (expensive!) VW garage
receipts from France.
Third owner apparently stopped using the car around the end of 2001, as the last tax disc expired Jan 2002 and the history shows it being on 94k in Feb 2001 and it's only just over 95k now. I suspect that given the condition it must've been garaged all that time!

I bought this from a trader that'd re-commissioned it and MOT'd it for his brother to use, but his brother decided to go down the Ford route like him instead. I've had a bollocking from the other half for coming home with another car given we're supposed to be preparing for our wedding - but my Mk3's in the bodyshop; so I had a Polo-shaped space in the garage to fill - made sense to me... Anyway, it's up for sale!



























Good points:
Very very solid - even underneath. See photo for an idea.
Battery tray solid - see photo.
Fuel tank/filler neck solid
Polo floor mats
Toolkit still present
New radiator
Comes with new clutch and throttle cables if required
CD player





Bad points:
Dings in front wing and near filler flap - please see photos
Needs rear boot lock barrell (missing)
Slight rust scabs on right of boot
Driver's side rear lamp cluster is a squareback part, not coupe (slightly different shape)
Driver's seat cable needs replacing to tilt forward (can flick the latch manually in the meantime)
Heater temperature adjustment arm broken off - please see photo
Driver's side washer jet hose needs replacing - please see photos









Quick hassle-free sale preferred, and ideally to someone that's going to treat it as it deserves - it's too good to rat look!
Cash sale, no swaps - unless you've got early Polo tuning goodies.

If I'd had known about this 24 hours earlier it would have been sold.

My brother has just bought a silver A reg Coupe now.

Hope some little chav doesn't get their mitts on it and ruin it

D'oh!

Don't suppose you've got a bootlock and O/S rear coupe light? If it doesn't sell I'm going to try to keep it and tidy it up.

Andy if you do end up keeping this it would be an amazing PPP car

Yoof told me about this yesterday. I think I'd be in as much trouble as you if another Polo shape appeared on the drive. Looks too good to g and mess about with.

Now sold.
