Polo MK2 - rekindling my youth !!

[widowmaker]

Another project as if I needed another :facepalm:

My first car was one of these back in the late 80's, I was offered this for a few hundred pounds and whilst it looks on its last legs in the picture its remarkably solid underneath considering its over 33 years old. Let the rollercoaster ride begin

Sounds like a good investment at that money if nothing else!

I had a black B-reg coupe with that interior (I think - Houndstooth jobby?)

Be good to see your progress anyway,

I have done a lot of work since then, the interior was past its best :cry: I managed so get a complete interior from an A reg Coupe in the Black and White dennis the menace style including centre console, 5 steelies and caps all for £50

I will post a few more pics, and one of my credit card bill

Wasn't the Polo with a boot called a Derby? Mate had one when I worked in Bristol 1984 ish. Remarkably sprightly

The MK1's were called the Derby and I think the MK2 abroad were but don't quote me on that. The MK2 Polo Saloons in the UK were called Polo Classic, this one packs a whopping 55bhp and brakes from the 1970's :shock:

Yes, very much and the best money I have spent in a long while

Put one some Black Box Ride on time and I am back in the 80s

Well that’s good enough reason for anybody. Enjoy.
