Dash looks like its come out of a mk1 Astra or Nova apart from the dials surround !!

Looks like a high up polo with audi 80 front end !!

As you said... reminds me alot of the audi 80!

I'm guessing they were never sold in the UK

South America only, would be awesome to import one, drop it on some RM's and roll it to some UK shows.

Current 2008 model looks pretty cool, certainly better than that woeful fox thing we get over here which is VW's other South American Market car.

Wonder what that would cost?
Title: Re: Never seen one of these before
Post by: Uruk Hai on 21 November 2008, 10:49
I think the shipping costs would mean you'd have to get the car for next to nothing to keep it sensible and there's always the chance it could be nicked by those naughty pirates  :grin:

looks like a parts bin car! Bit from Passat/Polo/Scirroco et.

Think the closest looking we have had is a Polo Gt.

yup VW gol. its the golf but used in south america. very very popular car in brazil, saw plenty of them when i went over last year. iirc, they have a small turbo engine, i think it was 1l turbo or something.

They also still get the original Camper in South America. I'd love to get my hands on one of those, all the character none of the rot.

I saw TWO 57 plate campers about a week ago, do you think they were imports? They had indicators above the front lights but were original shape!
