Ok so some will recognise the car, some will not. She has owned it since June 2006 and it has been very reliable. It had the common dirty throttle body issue which we cleaned and it popped an HT lead on the way to VW Expo 2007 and these are the only engine problems we have experienced during the 4+ years.
As you can see, the mileage is pretty low for the age of car. I found a picture from E38 2007 and it was only on 65k so its only covered about 7k in the last 3 years!
It has a full service history too. The original service book got lost by the people who did the cars respray but we have a new book which has been stamped up for all the work we've had carried out. All previous paperwork for past services is present though aswell as old MOTs. It is about to have an oil and filter change and general check over. It has just had new front pads fitted. Cambelt has already been changed (with receipt to prove). V5 is present.

Pictures:
Overall, this is a well looked after car which has not done a lot of mileage in the time we've had it. Yes, its not perfect and could do with a little TLC to bring it back up to a high standard, but its been a reliable car and will for a long while yet. Its in a lot better condition than many a polo of this year. It would be nice to see this go to an enthusiast.
