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?

 

[Zebedee]

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!

 

[Jim]

Had this at a cars and coffee type meet a wee while ago, thought I'd posted a few pics, but mustn't have lol

 

[Jim]

Went a wee run in the sunshine the other evening

Nice. Great place for a piccy too.

Theres someone round here with an X plate (1981?) metallic bronze 1.0 breadvan. Chrome strips in the bumpers and along the waistline too. Owner looked at me like i was mad when i waved.

I know that colour, it's class, must be a top model like a GL with the chrome stripes, they'd a lovely tan interior on them too.

Keep waving............befreind him and buy it

 

[Zebedee]

Yep, looks just like that. Old boy might have owned it since new as it was mint.

 

[Jim]

Through mot. today so happy boy 😁

 

[Jim]

Went to a wee local show in it tonight 😎

 

[Jim]

Had it at another wee show and parked beside a stunning green mk1. I love having it to toot around in on nice days 😎 like heading to smaller shows and meets thst are more informal. Mate sent me a cracker pic someone took of it, makes it look soooo much nicer than it is

 

[Zebedee]
