86' Polo Coupe S "Designer Coupe" picture'd

[A_d_a_m]

I'm new to this forum and have recently acquired a 86'Polo Coupe S (Designer Coupe Limited Model). I am now the 2nd owner from new (the first owner being an elderley lady) with only 77k on the clock.
The car was brought directly from volkswagen and had all the possible factory extras of the time fitted at the karmann factory

electric tilt and slide sunroof
electric windows
full Zender body kit
Ronal alloy wheels
"Sportier" suspension
etc..

everything is original, even down to the blaupunkt headunit, volkswagen breakdown cover sticker and original floormats in excellent condition
Bonus: doesnt need lots of work

Excuse the bad pictures, from my iphone

brochure:






















Hope you like and thanks for looking,

Adam.

Please don't change a thing- that's fantastic!

[A_d_a_m]

going to keep it as standard as possible, just tidying up a few bits here and there

Take the Accord wagon out of the picture & that could be 1986.

What a find! Lovely & clean - that needs to stay exactly as it is. No coilies!

[adi]

wow rare and OCD clean!

[goingfinn]

Agreed - don't change a thing! What a great car. Interior looks like its brand new!

[A_d_a_m]

Yeah coilies definately off the list for this one, even though i do love the slammed scene..

And another vote from me too. Superb car.

I would kill a man for that! What a stunningly clean example. So what is on your list of things to do to her..? Must say I agree with the above comments... It's got to stay standard. Oh and welcome to the forum. ;D

Chop the springs and slam it on some bandies, give it some flip paint, sorted ;-)

[dbdb]

That's in superb original condition - it is remarkably good. I say don't change it too!

Some good ideas there Mikey. You do yours first then we'll follow with ours! ;D
Sorry to hijack the thread but have you got a build thread of your Polo on here Mikey?

Originally came with the same interior as Adams pictured above, without the electric windows only his ultra rare and mint 'designer' got, but mine was hanging so i replaced it with the one from the late donor shown in my gallery.

Adam's is also in that gallery!

love it, got a soft spot for these, had a breadvan then 2 coupes.......have you got it on agreed value insurance? inspired by the poor guy witht he proton accident elsewhere.......i had a lovely tidy white 86 coupe, got rear ended, could have been pulled out and sorted but the insurance were nobs and wouldn't play ball, so i had to buy it back and break it. 3 years ago i got 750 out of them for it.

[al67]

Good Lord! what a little mint box.



Slam it! ;D

[roddersc4]

[A_d_a_m]
