Due to a change in circumstances, I'm selling up a couple of cars and here's the first to go.

1993 Polo Genesis Coupe converted to G40 by me back in 1997 and bought back last year on a bit of a whim really for old times sake. The car was featured in VW Motoring back in 1998.

The good...

Indian red bodywork looking better than most cars of it's age.

Top end rebuild on a 40k head last year inc. genuine head gasket/bolts etc.

Charger rebuilt by me and Pete Mirfin last year.

G60 steels.

Audioscape door pods.

Seat Ibiza half leather seats.

Solenoid boot release.

Half colour coded bumpers.

Powerflow exhaust, nice and discreet, fits beautifully, nice and quiet.

GED brace bar.

Very reliable and pulls like a good 'un. Bottom end has done around 150k.

New inline fuel pump fitted.

Tax till December and MOT'd until June.

Bar the exhaust, the engine is standard and unmodified.

The bad...

Shell has now covered 234k miles but don't let that put you off. She looks better than most the same age.

Clutch slipping a little when pushed hard. Driven normally in everyday use you wouldn't notice. I would quite happily drive it anywhere in the UK in it's current state as I have every faith it would take me wherever I want to go without a problem.

Rear tyres are getting towards their wear markers(still MOT worthy at present).

Small water leak into the front footwell when it rains. Battery tray has been welded by a previous owner but I think it needs sealing properly. I have rubber mats fitted so the water has never got into the carpets/floor.

Previous owner fitted a Mk.2 arch set(fronts cut to fit) I will include the correct Mk.3 items if I can find them

There's probably other things I've forgotten but that's about the sum of it. I've had fun with it and carried out a lot of remedial work that 11 years away from me have happened to it to make it right again.

As for price, I'll start it up here at £1650 ovno.

Car is located in Nottingham.

Please, no dreamers, test pilots or timewasters!!!

swear I've seen this in cossal park up quite a few times? and do u own a yellow mk2 on d90 lookalikes?

Yep, that'd be me. My old boss lives at Cossall so it was often parked outside his place.

The yellow Mk.2 was written off last year by a truck

i Remember that in vw motoring top car and well worth the money

Thanks, and yeah, you'd think it was worth the money, but sadly it would seem not. Had a couple of silly(and I mean SILLY) offers. I've seen non runners go for the sort of money I'm after on greedbay.

Almost tempted to remove the G40 running gear and keep it for my Mk.2 and put a GT conversion in there!

Would use as a part ex against an Ibiza/Polo/Fabia 1.9 TDi 130bhp if anyone has one, preferably in standard condition.

Don't move on the price, i sold my red GT for £1600.

Worth at least £1500 all day, wheels and running gear worth a bit alone, plus interior.

Possible decent offer on the table, although until money has changed hands, it's on a first come, first served basis I'm afraid.

No PX's/swaps please.

Car has now sold to a good home. Thank you for your interest :-)
