Oh… the Clio is lovely! Mum had an RN in Crystal Green. Only difference to the Solido? Unpainted bumpers and mirrors… #Renault

Your Classic. Wow, I remember that. Possibly in the days when Classic Cars was Classic Car. Singular.

Classic Car Weekly, 26 November 2025

Hey @chrisfm52e.bsky.social, have you seen this week's Classic Car Weekly? 👇 #Audi

Oh dear… Saying that, my MkI Polo had a disintegrating floor by the time I had done with in 1994, only lived around three years after that. Would have another in a heartbeat now. #Volkswagen #Polo

Nope, although the Derby was very pretty. Hatch still prettier, though. And my Coupé S did wear a very period Zender body kit – which later appeared on the UK 'Designer' special – and Wolfrace alloys, so it was a little different. Happy days. #Volkswagen #Polo

Interesting, will have a watch. SGS did a rather elaborate Polo Targa, too, based on the MkII breadvan. Unsure if it was a one-off or not, but a fascinating curio nonetheless. #Volkswagen #Polo

Scanning the cars for sale websites during the week and came across this gem. A #Polo GL from 1999, with a 1.6-litre, 75bhp engine (not very friendly for VED vs performance/costs, sadly), but a sunroof, a later #VW radio unit, and only 16,000 miles. £6000. Lovely. www.carandclassic.com/l/C1970972

There’s a similar theme with mine…

Introduce yourself with 5 cars you've owned:

1978 Volkswagen Polo N
1985 Volkswagen Polo (base model)
1986 Volkswagen Polo Coupé S
1994 Volkswagen Polo Coupé GT
2001 Volkswagen Polo GTI

#Volkswagen #GTI

I read this quickly and thought, ‘Clio V6, wow!’

Must be Mark Bursa’s… (Parked next to my Polo back in 2023.) #Saab

Why Petula Clark (Google her, kids). She doesn’t strike me as the typical Sunbeam driver. Surely an as campaign where her ‘quote’ dnd signature is used is just dragging her ‘downtown’…

Gasp! Where are the wheel trims? 😱 (And good to see you on Wednesday.)

Yep, still an awful wheel, though. Spokes are too thin. And you can tell the Match was based on the entry level Fox; same ‘Tricolour’ upholstery, and lack of glovebox lid. Which here, looks like a selling point! Nice couple of extra colours, though: Cerise and Light Blue on the Parade.

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

A few quick and dirty pictures of German machinery from this morning’s @takona.co.uk Coffees & #Cars meet in Sawbridgeworth. #classiccars #Audi #BMW #Porsche #Volkswagen

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.

Very, very sad, and genuinely shocking news this afternoon. #RIPQuentinWilson

1985 Fiat Strada 130TC

The trip to the garden centre was worth it not only for the cheese scone and coffee, but also for the tasty side dish of rare and old hot #Fiat!

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

That’s a very bright #Polo! (And possibly a standard colour, if not Rally Yellow.) #VW #Volkswagen

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!

2017 Volkswagen Polo Original (Japan)

2015 Volkswagen Polo 40th Edition (Japan)

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

2015 Volkswagen Polo Original

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
