  1. Quite. What happened in the six years from being sold on here is beyond me. I just hope this thread makes people aware of these cars (in the same wa the press car thread has). To my knowledge it was only 1 of 2 with yellow interiors and one of possibly one in SDi form.
  2. I managed to get some pics from facebook. This is quite a down fall within 6 years... https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/770884563944764/?ref=search&referral_code=marketplace_search&referral_story_type=post&tracking=browse_serp%3A2fbbd694-d0ad-48c3-bc9d-7c54e49caa29
  3. thank you for the update. Shame i went that way due to the rarity of the car.
  4. Am i correct @treblet that the L3upo plate you have was bought on retention after Vw had it? I seem to recall this was the story told by Claire (i think)
  5. thank you. I never thought i would see the day....
  6. I asked about premium membership a while ago. According to Matty its not run anymore.
  7. Generally in the UK. If both airbags go off it generally writes the car off in the UK. With the age of the lupo this is 100% the case now. As Mk2 says it can be fixed. Your best bet may be is to get a donor 1.4 lupo and swap the bits over (if you can find one).
  8. With regards to suspension. If you want to keep it reasonably oem but have it lowered. Vw used to do a kit which was a 25- 30mm lowering kit Part numberwas 6X0 071 676 it is not avalaible on hertiage though.
  9. I had issus with finding it on Gumtree. It was only when a friend found the link he sent it to me. Not sure why.

    Scale Model

    There is a couple on Ebay (change link as i got confused with Arosa chassis numbers). I think this was the only one made tbh. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/203823770045?hash=item2f74d7e9bd:g:~9oAAOSwnRpf7eiL
  11. I was reading elsewhre that they where checking on a 25 + year old car but doing it to the wrong standard (should of been euro 1 instead of euro 2)
  12. Cannot remember exactly. Front end damage if I recall
  13. Yes I have seen that and it about 3/4k over valued. It was advertised at 10k previously. Also no optional extras. The others that are for sale at the 10k mark are jap imports or a y reg with 70k (neither worth what they are asking)
  14. This is an issue for sure. Some have been moved over to hertiage where as other parts have not. Example. I can buy a front bumper (lower and upper) and grill. But yet i cannot buy the washer covers, lower covers or centre badge bits. I am tempted to buy a few more bits and put them away like yourself and i don't blame you either.
  15. That might be the one that was at Copart York. Begins with YD05*** or similar
  16. To update on the agreed value part. Option 1 turned out to be the easiest option by a long distance. Adrian Flux where happy to put the agreed value and what i wanted. Once i used there valuation service (for £15) they sent off several photos to hagerty and you can add information on what you spent on the car (eg paintwork etc, i did not include regular service stuff as that should be standard fare). and they came back with the same as the agreed value. Overall very happy about this.
  17. The Lupo GTi already kind of is going that way. It was not that long ago you could pick up a low mileage example for around £7000 (2/3 years ago). No chance now. Even now they are starting around the 3k mark for ones with Mileage etc.
  18. Thats a very rare car. There was only two made in 2005 in Anthracite. The other one was on Copart VERY recently.
  19. With regards to the dealers charging £1500. I guess the reason for that is due to the fox being not that great..... probably.
  20. L3UPO - possible that was changed. I think that plate owned by Clairyfariy (i think) More than that around. I recon around 30 ex press cars are around. Some are SORN'd including a couple of the famous ones. Quite a few of the DBW press cars had the three seater benches. 61-65 where. Some cars did have it fitted as an option. Including the Gti no less.
  21. Hi all As some of you are aware. I wrote the original press car thread way back in 2017. Since then I have continued researching and subsequently. I have found a lot more cars. Some of which I only have details of the registration plate/a picture of when they were subsequently sold. Link - So I have opened this thread up creating the missing press cars thread. This is where a list will be provided of cars I am looking for information for. Known press cars but on private plates – these are cars all used private plates or had plates blanked out in the case of the Max Power Car 1999 - L3UPO (Blue 1.4s Automatic) – see theoretical press cars 1999 - L3UPO (Green Lupo Sport) 1999 - L5UPO (Yellow Lupo Sport) we have a thread on clublupo in which yellowsport may of owned this. All I need is a number plate 1999 - T6UPO (Green 1.4s) 2000 - L2UPO (Green 1.4s) 2000 - L4UPO (Green 1.4 Tdi, also blue 1.4 Tdi) 2000 - L6UPO (Blue 1.4 Tdi) 2001 - L2UPO (Red Gti) – could be photoshopped? 2001 - L2UPO (Black Gti) 2001 - L4UPO (Silver Gti) 2001 - L6UPO (Red Gti) 2001 - Max Power Lupo Gti Motor Show Cars – I do have a couple of pics of motor show cars from 1999 Earls Court. But I would like some more if possible. Tough challenge I know Theoretical press cars - The car listed below has had its plate swapped. What is its current registration? If I am correct this car could be L3UPO blue automatic. Currently the plate was on an Audi 1999 - T66DBW Known press cars but no article/picture exists – this information I was provided via contact from Vw (i must add that this database only goes back as far as 2001, anything pre 2001 is a bit of a guess). A lot of the cars listed below have no photos or articles. I have been lucky in finding a couple of the cars. Of which I will provide any information I know. 2000 - X265XFC – picture exists. Was on Ebay in June 2020 2001 - Y916DWL – picture exists, was on gumtree circa 2018, poor image 2001 - Y921DWL 2001 - OU51BKD – pictures exists, but its later colour of white (various sources). Need a pic in black. 2001 - OU51BSX – picture exists. Was on Facebook Marketplace Dec 2021 2001 - OU51BVA 2001 - OU51CKO 2001 - OU51CNO – pictures exists. Was a member on a Facebook lupo group. Need a better pic in its original colour. Now in Laser Blue. 2001 - OU51CSO 2001 - OU51DHL 2001 - OU51DHM 2001 - OU51DRZ 2001 - OW51LCZ - picture exists. Was a member on a Facebook lupo group. 2002 - OY02YXU
  22. A friend of mine has a lupo sport and was using it daily up until recently when the gearbox went. If anyone knows where to get a Vw etb gearbox he would like to fix it. In London with ulez the lupos where on the cusp. So earlier ones are not compliant but later ones are. One definitely got scrapped because of that and thsy did offer it for sale but no takers. Also with some parts being not available (even on hertiage) that may also be a factor too
  23. They would have fun with that for sure. So 2005 is the 2nd rarest in year to 2000. 2nd my car has a sunroof, from what i gather there is only 6 around (1 Red, 1 Black in Jersey i think, and 4 silver of which are all differing spec). With point 2 they would not do the agreed value unless i got valued. Hence why i started this thread. I ended up going option 1 in the end. The providor i was with gave me a name of someone they used 3 years ago......so it is likely they might not be around.
