Title: 1050 cc mk2
Post by: Britman on 12 August 2008, 22:16

Hi anyone had one off these, I know they existed earlier on in the mk2's production, used the polo engine. Never seen one or heard anything about them but know for a fact they were made.
Just curious if anyone knows anything about them or had one, as bet there so slow there dangerous, bet 0-60 is well over 20secs and non existed power and torque levels for a car of that size.

They did existed and not sure how many were made but it would be interesting to know how many were made.
I can't imagine why anyone would want a 1L unless they were old grannies  :grin:

driven one of these little monsters,

they arn't quite the slowest things on the road,  accseloration in gear was quite good considering   but the gears felt short so 0-60 v poor  (no way could it get there in 2nd).  90 on the speedometer was top whack,   uphill not good.   probably not much different to a 1.6 NA desile in a golf.   

but after a weekend in the garage it magically got lots faster
