I have a last of the 1993-K reg in black magic (black/greyish iridescent standard colour from VW for the motorsport edition) polo g40 it is 1 of 10 in the world as it is a motorsport edition, has rear brake conversion, front big brake conversion, genuine VW momo steering wheel, full leather re-trim black with red piping, bee-sting aerial, bigger water bottle, one previous old women owner, engine all came heavily modified from VW as a motorsport edition running approx 220bhp (maybe more), bbs chrome rare 15" alloys, remus dtm exhaust, dtm elec mirrors, elec windows, rear headrests, crome heated washer jets even on front bumper, twin headlight motorsport conversion with one-off grille, original g40 interior mats with g40 logo, clifford cat one full closure alarm, it is believed there are only 2 of the 10 left in existance of the motorsport edition and this is the right-hand drive model, full service history inc receipt of purchase all in vw grey folder, it is immaculate.

It does not sound like other g40''s and is much louder grunt and heavily modified. No rust or dents its unreal, prestine and immaculate. Too much to list £5,000 ono (could be the only motorsport edition one left in existance). A very special car for only....

Just sounds like a modified one to me, but I could be wrong.

The "one off grille" is definately b*******s by own admission, think about it, he's saying there are ten of them at least (one on every motorsport edition)

Washer jets in the bumper are a factory option, and are the reason for the bigger washer bottle.

Most of the stuff sounds aftermarket though.

As for the 220bhp claims, I don't believe that's possible without a G60 charger. The G40 guys would be better able to help clarify this. Stu Baxter's one was a 1341cc conversion with a G60 charger (and the rest!) and has 220bhp. I can't imagine VW doing all of this to it out of the factory.

But, as I say, I could be wrong.

Only G40 Motorsport edition I can find is this white Mk2, it has:

- GRP arches
- ATS star rims 7J x 13"
- 195mm Pirelli tyres
- Recaros
- 40 mm lower
- 17mm shim up front 35 mm at the back (assuming they mean spacers?)

I thought that, what sort of old woman buys a 220bhp G40?

hahaha, yea exactly....and there isnt one ding anywhere on the car...surely a geriatric driver with 220bhp under their right athritic foot would have ploughed into one car in asda?

i dont know mind there was an elderly lady who lives near me who drives a rally edition lancia delta with martini graphics, quite a site shes had it sprayed since bright yellow!

i've seen this discusion b4 on somewhere, they they all agreed that it was a fake! if i remember rightly the name is a bit, how can i put it, topical

probably stuffed that in to see who actually read the ad - anyone who did would most likely not bid, so anyone who did was just a skimmer or overly excited and so easy to scam

dont knock the old lady bit......

... I know someone who got a 26,000 mile one owner from new disabled lady drriver.

but I guess there arnt that many of them about.

Very true, but that's a standard G40.

Excellent find! Mine was a family car before I got it, so it had lollies and Tazos under the back seat and was full of dog hair.

That description is a load of non-sense. Obviously trying it on to get more money for it.

yeh the advert was sent into Club G40 for advertising.

I asked about it on the PSD forums & most people said it was b*ll*cks. some said they'd seen the car before & it wasn't even very modified, just a stage 4 jabbasport charger & a few bits. No where NEAR 220bhp.

shame though, would have been pretty smart if there was such a car.

*on another note*
isnt that that mk2 wearing the same bodykit as the red mk2 that went on ebay a couple of months back?
