the mark 3 polo was 1.3 i think, a mate had one with cams exhaust etc was nippy (compared to my 1litre polo )

[bristolbaron 10]

75 bhp, 1.3 injection.

lovely runaround and okay for long distances, take well to a pipercross filter and full s/s exhaust.

if the price is right go for it!

 

try porka.net or clubpolo.co.uk for more info!

Cheers guys,

 

I dont think this one had a 1.3 lump in it as i had trouble keeping up with it in my C! it was H reg, white on the A3 in Hampshire, anyone know of it :)

was it a g40??

[jenks 0]

most likely was!

Dunno then, it just said GT Coupe on the back, not that clued up on polos!!!

it was prob a GT, they're not slow. I went up against my mates 1.8 16v when i had my polo, and he only gained on the straights. round corners i'd nip him.

H plate would be a mark 2 if it is a mark 2 it's a coupe" s " carb 1.3 55bhp

 

coupe "s" were badged as GT's in the rest of europe

 

i think my GT's quick for a 1.3 but it's NO match for my corrado

Remember the Polos weigh bugger all (750kg or so) compared with the rather lardy Corrado that's around 1100kg...

There's a lad round Guildford way with a white Polo GT with a tuned G40 lump in it - may have been him if you were having trouble keeping up!?! Was it loud?

[SteveVPK 0]

Wasn’t overly loud but it did have a after market exhaust on it, couldn’t say what type though

H plate was during the cross over year [see my car above - H plate mk 3]

meant they could be de-catted as well! :twisted:

I think he lives down my folks' road - had a couple of smiles and waves off him when he's seen the 'rado and 'rat parked outside, but not said hi yet...

 

It looks pretty nice actually...!

A GT with an airfilter/decat/s/s exhaust/chip will take many cars by suprise. Not Rapid, but no slouch either. Have seen many Polos with that spec pushing 80-95bhp on rolling roads! Doesn't take much to work out that 800kgs + 90bhp = smiles!!

Mark 3 polos were made on an H plate too i had a black GT on an H reg.

sorry got it wrong mk3's were released Oct 90 so can be on an h plate (as the pics prove ) got the dates mixed up with the G40 that came out in July 91 so that means that h plate G40's were on sale on an h plate as well for one month only anyone seen an h plate G40
