VW Polo 1.0L Genesis Coupe 1993 - SOLD

[Darkspeed]

My lads first car - bought off another forum member as a project - he learnt to drive in it and used it for commuting to work for a year but has now got himself something more modern and has just been given a Golf Cabby project so this needs to go.

MK2f Genesis in Silver 1993 with about 127K on the clock 1.0L four speed and is pretty well stock

Work we did

Full service
Water pump and cam belt
Rebuilt the starter motor
Rebuilt the alternator
Brakes
New battery
New stat
New fan switch
Heater fan speed repair
Brand new fuel tank - to cure the usual filler neck issues
New wheel bearing
Rear Pioneer speakers - fronts had already been upgraded
Has a nice SONY unit in it - bluetooth phone etc.
Genesis specification - so has the GT dash - Scirroco trim - sunroof - tinted glass etc all in very good order for its age.
Perfect rear parcel shelf!
No rot at all
MOT until April 2018
Runs well starts every time
Currently on Sorn


There are few dents and dings - paint is good but not perfect
Issue for the next MOT is the front screen is cracked and will need to be replaced.

I will get some recent pictures up over the weekend - one when we picked it up so you have the reg for MOT checks etc. I was very tempted to keep it myself as a nostalgia trip but I have enouigh cars.

Strange question but does it have a rev counter? Cheers

P.s. looks bargainous regardless

I'll show my lad when he comes back home, I bet he would like to have it back.

Good to see it still on the road.

I think if I had more space we would probably be keeping it.


Forgot to mention above - we also put 4 new Kuhmo Solus KH17 tyres on it as well.

Apologies for those who have expressed an interest for not getting more photo's sorted I have been a little time poor of late as well as just plain forgot.

Got the mileage wrong as it's now 134K looking at the pictures.
I think we have the Coupe script for the rear but lost the Polo CL

In a few years this is just what I'd like to get the first of my kids into aged 17. Hopefully they'll enjoy it as much as I enjoyed mine which I loved except for the scary non servo brakes!

This was my lads first car and he loved every minute of it. Cracking little car and nice in the Genesis spec with the Tartan trim, steel sunroof and the Rev Counter. He now has an early MK2 Golf GTi and a Polo GT TDi, he has got the VW bug if you pardon the pun.

Hi, I own this, just found this thread. I have had it for about a year now! Still a brilliant car, running sweet as a nut. If you’d like to see what she looks like now check out my Instagram mk2callum

Good to read it's still on the road and being looked after - Made my Lad a VW fan as he's not run anything else since.
