	Right due to buying a house soon my little Polo retro plaything has to go I've been as honest as possible writing this so you get an accurate picture of her condition. I would happily drive anywhere in her I've been to Bristol, Dorset, Somerset (as seen at last years RRG ), Gloucestershire (as seen at this years RRG!!) and many other longish distance journeys as well as shorter ones and have not had any problems Make: Volkswagen Polo Model: LX Year/Reg: X reg 1981 Mileage: 95000 estimated clocks say 87k MOT: 8 months Tax: 6 months tax put on just for the Gathering!!! Good points: One of only 30 LX mk1's remaining according to the DVLA! Regatta Blue metallic Very good condition for its age. Bonnet is satin blue with satin black centre and gloss black laced paint effect (it's pretty cool!!) (Its a fairly thin coat but the bonnet had some scratches before..) Bodywork is fairly straight, wings, sills, valances all rot free. New Headlamps a couple of years ago Clear front indicators, various stickers and desmo roofrack. Custom splitter ~~included as well.~~ sprayed satin black and fitted! New door handle fitted (and complete lock set with 2 keysso they can all match!) Garaged for 90% of its 3 years with me and mainly used in the summer! Momo steering wheel and boss on there currently (original included with Wolfsburg logo I believe!) Lowering springs and new rear shocks included (not fitted) Sits on P-slots with ok tyres. P-slots polish up lovely as they were machine turned so have a nice finish (centre caps may be with them as well!). P-slots currently chequered on one side and marble on the other, (its only fablon so peels off easily i'd imagine but turns heads and looks cool ) Also comes with original steelies with very good tyres and hubcaps. Mechanically fine, brakes are fine (well VW never made them amazing from day 1), clutch is fine, engine is fine, uses no fluids (except petrol!!) (slight oil drip from somewhere occasionally-the norm I understand!) Bad points: Paint is old! I like to view it as patina which is mostly genuine. one wing has different shade after repair (not by me) Drivers door was reversed into a few years back and although I popped the dent out its slightly crinkled/creased There are odd dents here and there nothing massive but consistent with a 30yr old car! Battery tray has a hole in it! The only bad rust on the car in fact the only real rust at all! There are one or two minor points where there is surface rust but not rotten. Needs a service/oil change/tune up (she's sat all winter and will need a good run and carb tweek as idle was weak when choke was in) Interior hasn't worn well. Door cards are straight and there are a spare set of front and rears. Seats are tatty, passenger side doesn't tilt (there are covers and a set of 106 fronts seats to go with if required) Heater is a little tempremental but works on setting 2 still (It doesn't get used in winter anyway) New steering wheel has caused issues with the horn! No stereo but have some retro shelf sitting speakers to go in Mileometer is intermittent but N.O.S. one in boot. Speedo is fine. Might need a new exhaust soon (surface rust on centre section) slight blow Location: South East London, Sidcup near M25 and between the A2/A20 Pictures: Passenger side Door sill img.photobucket.com/albums/v213/ski...lo/HPIM3315.jpg img.photobucket.com/albums/v213/ski...lo/HPIM3316.jpg img.photobucket.com/albums/v213/ski...lo/HPIM3317.jpg arch img.photobucket.com/albums/v213/ski...lo/HPIM3318.jpg rear valance img.photobucket.com/albums/v213/ski...lo/HPIM3319.jpg img.photobucket.com/albums/v213/ski...lo/HPIM3320.jpg Drivers arch rear img.photobucket.com/albums/v213/ski...lo/HPIM3321.jpg drivers sill img.photobucket.com/albums/v213/ski...lo/HPIM3322.jpg img.photobucket.com/albums/v213/ski...lo/HPIM3323.jpg front valance img.photobucket.com/albums/v213/ski...lo/HPIM3324.jpg img.photobucket.com/albums/v213/ski...lo/HPIM3325.jpg battery tray (hole is bigger than that but batt in way!) img.photobucket.com/albums/v213/ski...lo/HPIM3326.jpg engine bay img.photobucket.com/albums/v213/ski...lo/HPIM3327.jpg paint worn away after trailer journey for MOT img.photobucket.com/albums/v213/ski...lo/HPIM3328.jpg LATEST PICS from Gathering that should be enough pics Price: £800 ono can't take anything in p/ex I'm afraid Contact details: pm for number/email All in all a useable car that with some TLC could be lovely. A lot of potential. Need it gone soonish, seen a house I like but more importantly the Ax GTi turbo is ready for taxing, moting and insuring!! Thanks Tim
