**** NON-RUNNER 1981 MK1 Polo LX ****

Featured Replies

Here for sale is my beloved MK1 Polo. The car was used daily up until I bought my MK2 Scirocco so I am looking to sell so I can get G back on the road and rip it up once again. I've put some new bits on the car recently and its also had some parts replaced in recent months so everything is up to scratch. The car was painted in January 2006, the job isn't great but it has preserved the solid shell and exterior panels a treat. I remember when I bought this car from 86c, he told me that it was one of most solid examples he'd seen in a long time. There are a few patches of rust on the car that can be ground, filled and re-painted easily. The sill has just been plated up, filled and painted by myself and it came up pretty well. So here she is:

has this been sold? if not i am very intrested!

  • Author

Hi mate, still not sold. It is not running at the moment. I'll let you know when it is!

Jimmy :D

do you know why its not running?

  • Author

Nope, checked everything, it kinda of starts but doesn't run right at all.

I'm gonna rebuild the carb and see then mate, I'll let you know!

:D

just wondering, were did you get the 1981 GB plate that is hanging off the back bumper?

  • Author

I got it from an aircooled show!

The same guy is normally at most shows mate.

  • Author

Right all, heres the latest:

I have re-built the carb and the car is even worse.

I am now selling the car as a non-runner. everything is good except the non-running engine. The shell is completely solid and does not need restoration a little paint and de-rusting but nothing major, this car would make great for a G40 project. The wings are solid and do not have much rust all.

I have in my garage a 1272 engine from a Polo CL so if you want that as well to get running again the an extra 50 will get you that too.

I'm going to weight this in as scrap if it doesn't sell.

Make me an offer.

how much are you asking for it as it is? and how soon would you need to get rid of it?

  • Author

?300?

I'm in no rush really I was joking about weighing it in too lolz

Is the 1272 engine from a Polo CL a carb engine or fuel injection? and what price you looking for with the engine? £350?

  • Author

1272cc MK3 CL engine SPI injected carb :D

?350 and its yours :D

Can I come and view the car this weekend?

Whats your postcode?

cheers, Tim

CAN BE DELIVERED FOR ABOUT 350 within a 2 HOUR RADIUS

A brother of a Boss of a Friend can supply a trailer and my friend has a van to tow.

Anyone?

Might sound like a little bit of a strange offer. But i'm short on cash for a few weeks untill i start my new job. But how about a swap for an xbox 360 and some goodies?
