If it was found, would anyone be interested in racing it?

I would, as my current mods are set to take a few months, be nice to have something to track and hillclimb in the interim period.

Shame there's not enough left to consider a series competition event (ala Mk2 Golf Championship)

Trouble is people keep buying them & breaking them for parts not many original cars left now.

Plenty of series they can run in.
Eligible for VAG Saloons if you just want to race other VAG car’s
Classic Touring car championship in Pre 93 Touring Cars Class D. (ran my car in this)
SEMSEC Sports & Saloons
BARC South East Region Tin Tops (planning to run in this for 2014)
BARC run other championships via the other region centers that a G40 can run in.
Classic Sports Car Club Tin Tops series.

Yes there have been a few that have been broken for no reason, although the parts live on in many track Polos (and some road ones).

I think the quality of some repair jobs on the Cup Cars left the vulnerable Polo chassis in a fairly poor state, and because Polos don't have the cult following (apart from us sad lot) they got broken for spares or forgotten about.

I don't really have the spare cash and definitely not the time to race it but if the price is right and it is available still I would be interested in restoring it and then keeping it stored away until I could.  And probably doing some track days with it.
