It ended up living the rest of its life tied to a static caravan as an anchor to stop it blowing away.

is it still there?

Probably not. I think the caravan was scrapped so the anchors probably went too.

Heres an odd one for you.
1983 Polo Sprint: 155bhp, 125mph, 0-60mph in 8 seconds!
WBX engine from T3 caravelle fitted with a supercharger, fuel injection and an intercooler and mounted in the rear.

Wow! Had seen pic of that before but didn't realise the spec!!!!!!!

They also made around 50 turbo diesel breadvans, insanely easy run and quick. This was in the mid 80s!!!!!
Must try and find the article

A 1.1 diesel was available in Germany from 1982 onwards i think. Not sure any were ever sold in the UK though. A german friend of my mums had an 82 or 83 breadvan. Not the quickest thing in the world.

Interesting read, thank you.

I'd found an article somewhere of a guy in th!e states who had one, strange place for a diesel Polo to end up!
