Car has just had full service, Oil and Filter change, Air Filter has been taken off and washed, new fuel filter, new plugs, anti freeze change and brake fluid change. New set of wipers.

Classic insurance only cost me £279 for year and I’m only 25 (limited mileage)

I’ve finally decided after long debate with missus, I’ve got to put our loved G40 up for sale and after all the hard work I’ve put in it will be sad to see it go.

Since I got the car it has more or less been totally stripped and re-built, when I bought it the car the interior and some exterior had been stripped for Track use. I managed to find a mint interior set and carpet set and all the other parts via club polo forum and poloG40.co.uk to bring it back to its former glory.

I also stripped and reconditioned the G-Lader myself which now works perfect and after the water pump nearly ate my timing belt away last year I fitted it with a Brand new Genuine VAG water pump and Genuine VAG timing belt,

I have had it fitted with a Clifford alarm system which cost me over £500 to ensure it’s not an easy steal. By using the car as my daily I also found out what new parts the car needed like starter motor and gear linkage etc, its not as if it only comes out in show season, I recently ran it in the snow we had and it drove absolutely spot on.

This car needs very few repairs and it a very tidy example of a not over worked G40

Genuine offers around £1750

Price negotiable

Many Thanks Dan, aren't there some propa nob jockeys around.

infact, fuck it i think ill keep the car

Keep it. It's a lovely car, I've been perving on the advert quite a lot!

Unfortunately the only thing I can offer is an average Mk3 VR6, my girlfriend and/or my arse.

I've seen worse G40's up for a lot more dosh. It's a bargain at that price.
