Yeah i agree the handling is pretty crisp....

With a bit of modification they handle really well, better than the lardy newer ones anyway, seen the video in the "ooh baby" post?

Its true to say though, they arent the grippiest, but that only adds to the fun!

Liking it, liking it a lot.

Looks like the engine is bulging out of the bonnet too.

I would if i had the money, i would expect it to go up to silly money. Only 300 odd ever made mostly in black, so this is even rarer. Also i know those rims are minging, but also incredibly rare. Check it out, and buy it if you love mk2's and have the money........ http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...

That appears to be correctly wired up at the coil end. On mine, from the firewall, red/black goes to -1, and black goes to 15+. From the module, black goes to 15+ and green to -1.

Hi liz, Yep its me, Dan. Also known as Munsta on the other forums. Hope your bluey is going sweetly. mine continues to provide solid performance on the original engine which is now at 132K. I had slight accident in mine the other week, where i left the handbrake off and it slowly rolled down the hil...

Cheers chap! yep its a shame that the older polos dont get the respect they deserve, I often think if there had been a more powerful mass produced one, they would be regarded in the same light as the mk1/2 golfs are now. I really cant fault them, except for the brakes :lol:....but that just adds to ...

Hello, im Dan. Im the owner of a 1985 mk2 polo coupe s in rareish Comet blue. Ive had the car for about 3 years, and its served me damn well. She's lowered 40mm (was 70!) has a weber carb, K&N filter and rolls on the original 9 spoke alloys. The body and paint work is a little battered, but ther...
