Looks like I can't keep away from these old Polo's can I? :lol:

I've had a handful cars in the past couple years.

My first car was a '94 Alpine White Polo Coupe, a 2003 TDI Sport Polo 9N followed, a very brief stint with a Mazda Eunos next and then hopped back into another classic Polo, this time a Indian red 1991 GT Coupe. Shortly after that I bought another Mazda MX5 and now I'm in yet another Polo.

This being the oldest yet, a very tidy 1990 Polo Saloon CL. 1272cc 5 Speed.

Totally grandad boggo spec, but fitted is a Weber carb and manual choke. Tape deck fitted up front along with Kinder tape holder in the center console.

Lowered slightly on a AP 60/40 kit and sitting on some freshly rebuilt BBS RM's with Micheal Schumacher Special Edition centre caps to make it a little different from the norm. They are in the original spec of 15x6.5J ET33 although the rears are spaced 25mm so you don't get that awful poke up front and tuck out back that old Polo's have. Wrapped in new 165/50 Nankangs to clear the standard arches.

In the winter it'll be running the VW Castellet's the car came with, unless anyone wants them?

Have been polished since my ownership after a work colleague decided to put wheel cleaner on bear polished untreated alloy - took hours to get them mint again!

Totally standard and mint interior so that's staying, only upgrade is that I've replaced the standard speakers (although they've been stored and not binned as they're spot on!)

I'm just loving the simplist feel of it. Plans is to just keep it clean and tidy, perhaps a OEM stainless upswept exhaust to come in the future and maybe fitted the quad lamp grill but we'll see.

Maccy D's stop off on the way home - the Beetle won Dealers choice award, well deserved after a two year rebuild.
