Query about the Polo GT (9n)

Surprisingly, yesterday I saw THREE Polo GT's around Glasgow (albeit, one parked in my local VW dealership carpark). Anyway, I was just wondering, did the Polo GT ever come in petrol form? Im sure I read somewhere on the net that VW offered petrol versions of it in Europe-mainland.
Also, does anyone know how many Polo GT's were sold or are registered in the UK?

The Polo GT is only available as a 1.9 tdi engine. No idea how many were sold though!

No petrol 9N GT was ever produced.

Which makes the Sport the fastest petrol that they did.
(Yay!)

Yeah the GT defo only ever came in a Diesel. Not too sure how many were made, but I'm sure they only did a limited number per year.
I have only ever seen one on the road, and that was in Wales when I was away for the weekend. Only ever seen one at car shows aswell, and that was Forge Motorsport's at Inters this year.

Ive got a relative with a flash red one. They are pretty rare, according to an old copy of volkswagen driver magazine only 450 for 2004 and 300 for 2005 were released.
I looked at one when I bought my 1.9 sport but I went for the sport as it had more toys on. I think a lot of the GT's that were sold weren't too highly specced (ie climatic/ESP etc). I think VW missed a trick, they could have put a 150hp Tdi in it, like the ibiza..

The Ibiza is a PD160, different engine code
The new and improved Ibiza FR comes with the 1.8T and can easily be haggled down to £11k at the dealers.

Thats my car. I work for Forge so it sports a couple of small stickers on the doors.
I see the odd one around the motorways but they really are a rare beast. I looked at them when new but 15.5k for a Polo was rediculous money. I waited about a year and picked up an ex demo for a lot less. I traded in a Leon 150 for this as I think the 130 engine is much more responsive
