1979 VW Polo L Left Hand Drive
This 1979 Polo has only 60,000 Original Miles! This is a late MKI (facelifted)
Polo (Plastic Grill, Plastic Bumpers). These first generation Polos were
basically re-badged Audi 50's, sharing every component except the Logos on the
car. A Company in Maryland (eCode) had brought over some early classic
water-cooled cars back in 2006. This Polo came from Germany and was
brought here as a project car. It was eventually sold with a number of
other parts to Yarrow Thorne (www.yarrowsport.com).
Yarrow had lowered the car, installed Mini Lite Aluminum Wheels, and had a
custom mural painted on the hood and roof. Also, the valve cover and air
cleaner were powder coated (pink, however). I bought the car in October,
2007 and stripped the entire car down and had it completely repainted the
original Diamond Silver metallic. It has Scirocco S front Seats, and I
just found a Scirocco S Rear seat so the fabric will soon match. Very fun
to drive, and surprisingly quick for an 893cc engine . Just a cool
old-school euro-spec VW. Click here

And Here's what the car looked like when I bought it:
