L👀k at this! In daily use, perhaps, too! 👇🏻 #VWPolo

NEWS: @UKVolkswagen is offering savings on Polo (and other) models until Monday 19 February. £1,250 will be added to its existing deposit contribution on orders placed until that date using a personal contract plan (PCP) from Volkswagen Financial Services. volkswagen.co.uk/en/finance-…

Sold and built in India and Brazil, the Virtus is based on the sixth-generation Polo – and is even called the Polo Sedan in South Africa – and @vwbrasil has created a special one-off ‘convertible’ version of the car. @Motor1com has the story (and images): motor1.com/news/707476/volks…

EBAY WATCH: here’s one we can get behind. Rare, this: 2000 Polo Colour Concept, yellow, complete with original leather seats and 15-inch Interlagos alloy wheels. Interior needs a clean, but looks cracking. 105,000 miles, currently £900. reserve not met. ebay.co.uk/itm/296192365554

Up on MSN now, is an @autocar list of famous car people’s first cars, and the Mk 1 Polo is included! The driver/owner? #Polestar chief Thomas Ingenlath… See who owned what first at msn.com/en-ae/news/other/fam…. #VWPolo #VW

The Polo has been featured in @autocar’s ‘The best German cars ever made’ list, alongside its stablemates the Beetle, Golf, and Scirocco: autocar.co.uk/slideshow/best… Read our history of the Mk 1 Polo here: polodriver.com/heritage/seri… #VWPolo #VW

Interesting – it would appear that the Polo #GTI has disappeared from the 2024 Polo configurator on the @UKVolkswagen website… volkswagen.co.uk/en/configur… However, the Style model is shown with a red-trimmed grille from the #GTI! Weird and weirder…

EBAY WATCH: 1990 #Volkswagen Polo Fox. This looks very cute, has covered 50,000 miles in 34 years, and although its Tornado Red has a few marks, it looks a rare unmolested example of the early 1990s entry level Polo. Ends tomorrow, currently £1,220. ebay.co.uk/itm/225941579334

This is fun. The Polo has never been exported to the US, but there are a handful Stateside. Shooting Cars has found one, a ‘2F’ GT hatch – rare in itself – and seems overjoyed to have done so! youtube.com/watch?v=2rorGht9… #VWPolo

Excellent piece on @Petrolblog about the Mk ‘2F’ Polo G40 Genesis (and thanks for the link!), which even includes a TV spot we had never seen before. Would like to add that in Europe, ‘special' Genesis models were also available with 55 and 75bhp engines. petrolblog.com/articles/vw-p…

EBAY WATCH: here’s something ‘inexpensive’ to fill that car Christmas stocking. 1999 Polo 1.4 CL, Dragon Green metallic, 70,000 miles from new, two lady owners (really!), automatic. Aside from slightly saggy seats, looks ‘mint’. A contender for #FOTU 2024? ebay.co.uk/itm/134829549850

Reposting in the hope this is saved. Although we’re still not sure of the ‘Ski’ bit of the car’s history. Not a factory special edition as far as we’re aware – polodriver.com/heritage/seri… – perhaps an enterprising dealer? #VWPolo

FOR SALE: 2000 #Volkswagen Polo GTI, Flash Red (not ‘Ferrari Red’ as stated in the ad), just 58,000 miles, and just one previous owner. Still love these, and this one looks very, very good – red seatbelts for the win! £3,999. autotrader.co.uk/car-details…

FOR SALE: may have seen this previously, but nice to discover again if so. 1992 #VW Polo G40, just 42,000 miles (reportedly the lowest mileage G40 on the UK market today), metallic grey, three previous owners. Very clean, but priced at a steep £15,975. autotrader.co.uk/car-details…
