Beschreibung
The Polo had long been established as a sensible, reliable and well-made supermini before the G40 was introduced in 1991. The Polo range had received a facelift in 1990 – bringing its looks bang up to date. The G40 took this further, with BBS alloys and a wider body. It looked how hot hatches wanted to look in the 1990s – it was the aspirational Polo, a car people lusted after - and deservedly so. 116bhp powering a three-door body weighing just 830kg was always going to be fun, and the whine from the supercharger is as delightful as it is addictive. The sharp handling cemented its status is hot hatch royalty.
In the late 2000s, when the car was at its lowest price, many were modified and even some were scrapped. Now, an appreciating car, it’s the time to buy the little supercharged bundle of madness and use it how it was intended. There are now very few G40’s left in such original condition with associated low mileage.

The 1992 Volkswagen Polo G40 had one previous owner has covered 41, 493 miles from new (may slightly change) and is in totally original condition, retaining all its original features. The car was purchased as a present for my relation, due to change plans this did not transpire alas, the car remained in storage for about five years and was occasionally exercised, always starting upon turning of the ignition key.
The car is in sound and superb condition, (with the exception of the radio, which I think is not original but works perfectly0 the G40 has had some small knocks and scrapes however with some TLC this car is definately destined to be a concourse winner. Underside is solid, interior is also in exceptional original unmarked condition.
