The #Polo and Fiesta may have been influenced by it, but which one has survived the longest… #VWPolo #Volkswagen

LinkedIn doesn't seem to get that I can't log into my account (hacked in December, and possibly again after a reset) yet keeps sending me ways to log in to my account to solve the issue…

The Polo GTI is now Volkswagen’s smallest hot hatch and one of the last holdouts in its segment. Does it make more sense in a less crowded market?https://www.evo.co.uk/volkswagen/polo/gti

The flagship Polo carried the Ranger name, and claimed to be 'extraordinarily well-equipped', featuring extra driving lights and roof bars (the latter oddly missing from the main picture). The Polo Ranger had a 1272cc 55bhp engine and fuel-saving 4+E gearbox.

Although superminis had moved on a lot during the '80s, VW still claimed the Polo was a game-changer and the benchmark for rivals to beat. Saloon and 'coupé' bodystyles were also available, but the estate-like hatchback was the staple seller, attracting a loyal repeat clientele.

Volkswagen's ageing Polo mk2 was well behind some competitors by the date of this 1989 UK brochure, but its unusual breadvan style and quality image kept sales buoyant. The new entry-level model was the 1043cc Fox, with distinctive 'starfish' wheel caps. #weirdcarbs

Available in shops until tomorrow, the latest issue of @autoexpress.bsky.social features a first drive of the new all-electric #IDPolo prototype. www.autoexpress.co.uk/news/63972/f... #VW #Volkswagen #EV

Finally, some white stuff. Though only a sprinkle. #snow #VW #Polo

Ooh… the interior of the #IDPolo will be revealed tomorrow… youtube.com/shorts/R-hCo... #VW #Volkswagen #electriccar #EV

It was certainly a book-orientated festive/birthday period in 2025. I’ve got a lot to read moving into 2026… #books #cars #design

The #Volkswagen Polo celebrated its 50th birthday in 2025, and this milestone anniversary was landmarked in various ways. Join me for a whirlwind journey… #VW #Polo50 youtu.be/sWeYFLafGNo?...

Post you from a different era. (Different era, same car love.)

Watched this a while ago, and while the AI-generated voice translation is awful, the car is fascinating. A 1998 #Volkswagen Polo, with almost registered 0km. A truly time-warp car… youtu.be/U5bGTjxOwEM?... #VWPolo #Polo50

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

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

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

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

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!

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

So, 2025 marks the Polo's 50th birthday and #VW has created the 'Edition 50' to mark it. Ten years ago, the #Polo 'Original' celebrated the model's 40th birthday. Special features included Honey Orange Metallic paint (a CrossPolo shade), 'Original' badges, LED lights and 'Portago' alloys. #Polo50

I’d agree! 👇🏻 🤡 #VWPolo #Harlequin

The underground car park at my Friday night Premier Inn was a good photo spot too. #polog40

A real privilege for the G40 to get a spot on Pall Mall with Volkswagen UK marking 50 years of the Polo at the St James Motoring Spectacular. It’s a huge event, too. Something like 10,000 visitors.

It’s not every day you get to display your car at the prestigious Pall Mall in London, but yesterday my Polo took its place alongside VW UK heritage press fleet and other owner cars as part of the St James’s Motoring Spectacle 50th anniversary #VWPolo display. We even enjoyed some sun! #Polo50

Well, that was a nice surprise. The Polo and I are 'Letter of the Week' in this week's issue of @autocarofficial.bsky.social. (Volkswagen UK's in-period press car pictured here, though.) #Polo #VWPolo #Polo #Volkswagen

*URGENTLY WANTED* I'm still after a #Volkswagen #Polo, possibly, two, for the St James Motoring Spectacle which takes place on *this Saturday* at Pall Mall in London. I need a Mk4 9N (2001-2009), and would love to find this car I saw at the Simply #VW event in May… #Polo50

This may be a bit of a long shot, but I spotted a Polo Harlequin at #FOTU in the summer, and I’m now after a standard 1994-2001 Polo (6N/6N2) for the St James Motoring Spectacle event in London on 1 Nov. If anyone of #weirdcarbs knows whose it is, ask them to get in touch! #Polo #Polo50 #VWPolo

A quick push… URGENTLY WANTED: Volkswagen Polos needed for St James Motoring Spectacle on 1 November. Mk4 (2001-2009), Mk6 (2017-present), and a MkI Derby (1977-1981). Cars in as near-standard condition as possible. Please share! Email [email protected] for more details. #VWPolo #Polo #Polo50

One of those ‘I’m a very lucky boy’ kind of afternoons…’ #VWPolo #Polo #Polo50

URGENTLY WANTED: Volkswagen Polos needed for St James Motoring Spectacle, 1 November Mk4 (2001-2009), Mk6 (2017-present), and a MkI Derby (1977-1981). Cars must be in as near-standard condition as possible. Please share! Email [email protected] for more information. #VWPolo #Polo #Polo50

MoT and service for the #Polo today. Always nice when the garage calls and said it ‘flew’ through the former. I had my curiosity satisfied and even got a chance to look underneath. Pre-winter cavity wax treatment probably next… #VWPolo #Polo50 #Volkswagen

With the all recent activity around the forthcoming all-electric #IDPolo and #IDPoloGTI, 44 years ago the MkII Polo enjoyed its debut in September 1981. It was presented to the international press the month before in Sardinia. #Polo (Photos: eBay – www.ebay.co.uk/itm/27732038...)

The ID. Polo GTI represents a new strategy from Volkswagen, of bringing back names we know and love for future electric models www.evo.co.uk/volkswagen/2...

…and a rare one at that! #VWPolo #Polo50 #Volkswagen

On a more modest note, some more random #Paris car spots, including a four-door #Fiat 500e sold in selected lhd markets; a MkI #Audi A1 with bodykit (no Citycarver badge); and an electric #Renault Twingo ZE. Oh, and a not quite so modest #AstonMartin Vanquish.

Supercar-spotting in #Paris: not my usual type of car, but then again, you do very rarely see a clutch of #Bugatti Chirons… #supercar

As well as the new, all-electric #Renault 5 models we saw in the Renault Défilé, we saw a fair few out in the wilds of the Parisian streets (including a Roland Garros and an #Alpine A290). The success of the car no doubt borne out here by urbanites bowled over by its chic looks and #EV power. #R5

On our way home from our European city break today, but while in Paris earlier in the week, we went to the #Renault flagship store at 53 Champs-Élysées. Called the ‘défilé’, meaning ‘parade’ the three-storey building has a spiralling ‘catwalk’ that shows off both new and classic models. #R4 #R5

Now back en-route to Brussels, but while we were walking around #Paris yesterday, we stumbled across a spot of TV filming, the side street outside the Palais Galleria dressed with vintage cars for what looked like a 1920s-1930s period drama. #Fiat #Unique ##classiccars

Old cars of Paris. #Volkswagen #Autobianchi #Fiat

Go travelling, find old #Volkswagen. Story of my life. This one is a little special, though. An Oettinger Golf #GTI 16S (vwgolfmk1.org.uk/forum/index....) with 136bhp from its 16V engine (the standard contemporary 8V GTI had 112bhp). Just lovely, and so compact. ATS wheels a design classic, too.

OK, so it’s essentially a piece of marketing for the ID Polo, but what a great film! youtu.be/X2LEgSHl_N4?... #PoloProjectDrift #Polo #Polo50 #VWPolo #Volkswagen
