You didn’t miss much. Weird spec. GLX on the outside, CL-ish on the inside. With quite a cheap-looking badge, too. #Volkswagen #Polo

I was going to say, they are quite awful. And weren’t they ‘Sport Räders’, a typical #Volkswagen aftermarket brand from the period. And you don’t see many Polo SEs still around these days… #Polo

And some Italian ones… #AlfaRomeo #classiccars #coffeesandcars #carsandcoffee

I was thinking about these tonight. A great series. Still have them on VHS in the loft from probably their first on-air dates. Must revisit (again); I think Golf #GTI was my favourite.

At work he was one of our columnists, and a markets correspondent, too; I only subbed his most recent piece this past week.

Captive audience, too. Lots of pricey Hot Wheels last year. But a nice haul, especially the #Porsche brochure!

Nice. And blimey, you were in and out super-fast!

This is true. It was quite vast last year… Remember staying until quite late, too.

I really wish I was going now… So many folks I could have caught up with, and working on a classic car mag, it maybe could have been classed as a work day, too… Have a great time!

Interestingly (to me anyway!), is that Japan didn't get the Polo Original until 2017, two years later than Germany, and the car didn't come to the UK at all… Japan did get its own Polo '40th Edition' in 2015, though, but that car was nowhere as unique as the Original. #Volkswagen #VW #Polo #Polo50

Other differentiating elements of the #Polo Original included 'Splender'-patterned sports seats (essentially orange and grey-black houndstooth, referencing the original Polo N), 'Moon Stone'-painted centre console trim, 'Original' door sill trims, and a 'Rear View' parking system. #VW #Polo50

I think this is a winner. It's possibly even better than the 5 in terms of updating the original but keeping some of the cues. And Mango Yellow and Absolute Red are fantastic. I just hope the small battery and OK-ish range don't out folks off, and they remember it is a 'city' car… #Renault

They’re both lovely, low-mileage (MkI, 28,000 miles; MkII, 59,000 miles, I think) examples. Been very fortunate to have driven both. Proper, almost as-new-condition cars. #VWPolo #Polo50

That one was a nice find. I saw it at the Simply VW at Beaulieu show back in May, and thought it would be a good fit. Lovely car, 59,000 miles, one owner from new!

I had one for almost 10 years. Loved it. Clean lines, fun interior, good build, and quick-ish. Written off in 2021. #VWPolo #Polo50
