Up for grabs is my 1992 MK3 Polo GT coupe in tornado red. I have had this car since February last year and it was stood until September 2011 whilst the build was under way.

TAX - 31/08/12

MOT - 30/08/12

MILEAGE - 216,000 ish

LOCATION - Hucknall/Nottingham just off junction 26 of the M1

Ideally looking for swaps with another MK3 GT Coupe that I can have my way with only light modifications, l or something Diesel and cheap to insure I'm only 20 :-D . But try me with anything you never know. if that fails 1,350 ovno

The reason I want to swap is like I said I didn't drive the car until September and so i didn't feel like i had got to know the car before it became what it is. I want something i can drive and get to know right the way through the modification feeling every little modification. Not just jump in and drive away.

Anyway enough crap about me beeing sad or ill which ever way you look at it... the car.

Bad points

- dint above fuel cap Can't picture doesn't show properly but not terrible.

- a few pint chips on rear quarter not terrible either.

- knocks on full lock to the right I believe its the lock nut on the track rod.

- no anti rattle shims on front pads so clatter in reverse easy fix I have the shims.

- Squeeky rear axle bush i put the cd player on :-D. however easy fix and went threw last MOT with it.

- small dint in passengers wing again it doesn't really show on pics but is hardly noticeable.

- last owner got abit lively with a buffer and stripped a bit of paint on the bonnet.

All new parts fitted in September around 6,000 miles ago

This car pulls very well for a 1.3 it makes mince meat out of the usual rude-boy in his Corsa. Not 100% on the output as I've not had it tested but id say between 95-100bhp. it keeps up with a Audi A3 1.8t and a MK2 Golf GTI 8v cant catch it.

I have tried to be as honest as possible with this. Looking for a MK3 Coupe in white GT if possible. If not a diesel thats cheap on insurance. But again just try me you never know.

Pictures will try and get some better ones

Thanks Rob

The Car

Before lowering kit fitted sits alot better now

I like 6n's but can't really justify having one. Unless it was diesel as the insurance seems to be very high for me. So unfortunately I'll have to say no chap although it is a really nice motor and air con would be awesome GLWS/swap.

Thanks Rob

No probs mate cheers

Silver 1998 1.6 A3, easily manages 45mpg on the motorway, Insurance group is decent too!
