Just missed you last night as you where leaving i was arriving.

It was a Lupo Gti on silver i recall. In the press car thread it was for sale around 2021. But the last info i have. I know L3UPO is not on the silver gti and it was up for sale on one of the facebook groups.

Yes it was me. I had to leave early. Sorry.

To add. They just announced the 4th April is a Friday night social. https://www.facebook.com/events/1004208675105820?acontext={"event_action_history"%3A[{"mechanism"%3A"attachment"%2C"surface"%3A"newsfeed"}]%2C"ref_notif_type"%3Anull}

Yes, sports are rarer than GTis. I have tried to buy a couple but on each occasion has failed for different reasons.

I thought i'd mention this. You may be to go the manufacturer and ask for a Certificate of Conformity. More details below. I suspect a 1.0ltr arosa would meet this of any age. https://motorway.co.uk/sell-my-car/guides/cetificate-of-conformity-ulez

There is a member on here who has a Gti with less than 3000 miles from new. There was another Japan import Gti that when it came to the country it had 3000 miles (checked the MOT history and that is now on 32000 miles WO04 ZHA) I did try and buy a sport about 10 years ago that had similar mileage to your car but unfortunately it had been agreed to sell to a family member.

There are other car meeting in the Ashford area to. There is the hazard meet which happens on the 1st sunday of the month at the Doghouse Micropub, they have just started doing some at Lydd kart circuit on the 3rd Sunday of the month, there is Romney Retros too but they are a bit more sporadic, but they do have one on this sunday at the pilot too.

I have created a thread in the London South East part of the forum. 21st March i won't be able to do but the 16th April i might be able to do.

So i thought i'd put this here as one of the members is regularly going here. I have been a couple of times myself. Anyway details are below.

So a bit of a update on the Lupo Press cars. The missing L4 UPO silver GTi has been found. Unfortunately this car no longer survives. This is also the Max Power Lupo Gti too, this was confirmed due to it having red interior and the only car to have so. What I have also concluded is the two red and black photos of L2 UPO, I believe are photoshopped, the reason for this is due to timing in that at the time the photos where published, the car with said plate on them was a Silver Lupo GTi. It means that all the GTis have been traced. Also in other news, two more additions to the data base with is W241 EWL and W281 EWL. This one took a bit of detective work as evidence was found that a Vw Polo was registered on a similar plate (W227EWL), what proved it further was finding a picture of Jay Kay (Jamiroquai). Front man standing in-front of a Audi RS4 with the Reg W271 EWL proving a batch of W***EWL plates where ex Volkswagen Press.

The stag is very near me. Not sure when i will next go.

Are you the current owner of this? I lost track of when it was owned by Alex on here (Aka Fatttty)

On the 28th September at Brooklands Museum. https://www.brooklandsmuseum.com/whats-on/german-car-day-2025 I will be going as a individual. Also next year is 25 years since the 1st Lupo gti came to the UK. It would be nice to see some more cars attend.

So this is going to be a bit of a thread bump. I have now found out what the 1st two letter of the number plate is. It is GN02APU. I am not sure if its anyones on here. What i do know its on a private plate now. Begins with L11***

So during the press car research. I have found some cars which you could class as one of one. As in they are a rare spec or have a story behind them. I have decided to create this thread as one of these cars is now scrapped (currently in Copart on a CAT B flood damage). List as follows OU51 UGD - Silver GTi. Special order. It was mentioned on a old piston heads thread. It has rare options fitted including options not available to uk market. BBS814 and climate control. (https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&f=23&t=1253875&i=60) DU02 UHH - Blue 1.4S. This car was a Japanese Spec car sold in the UK new. Currently on copart (22/10/2024). The Japan spec had tim and tom seats in a S spec with Side Airbags. (https://www.copart.co.uk/lot/74867854/2002-volkswagen-lupo-e-bristol) Y489 YGF - Black 1.4S Auto. Spotted by myself, it has leather interior (early) with a open air sunroof. Possibly the only one? I do have photos of this too. Cedar Green Lupo with a open air sunroof. Again spotted by myself, i do not have a plate or a photo. Will try. Possibly the only one? Colour concepts - most are 1 of 1 spec wize. Dedicated thread for this here -

Coming like buses atm. I have managed to get the original plate for a motor show car. V553TJO The photos i found a while ago on Flickr. But what made this car interesting is it had leather interior which is a very rare option. Thank to LupoGtiboy who checked against the reg, the car was found. Pics below.

So, i have not updated this in a while. I did not think i get more information. But there is a few more cars to add Y182LJO Y183LJO The major updates is L6UPO (Red GTi) has been traced. I can confirm this is still in existence, but on a private plate. Thread being updated in due course. X907 NJO i can confirm is in Ireland. Its on Irish plates now. Both Yellow sports on L5UPO have now been corrected, they are two separate cars.

Checking my records and a few other sources. I believe VK53 EYY is on a private plate. Total which came to this country was 34. The two 05 ones do not have Sunroof but do have leather.

Pretty much this these days. The last UK spec one on collecting cars sold for £8300 although the one previous sold for £10300. You might want to look at a import one if your insurance allows which they around the £6K

Simple answer is Clublupo and Clubpolo are not affiliated. They have been seperate to my knowledge. I would try and contact them somehow. I tried via the support but you need an account to do this.

This one is fairly close to what yours is bar the sunroof and it has slightly less miles. Will be interesting to see what this goes for. https://collectingcars.com/for-sale/2001-volkswagen-lupo-gti-1

Considdering there is only 5 of them in the UK that will take along time. I know one of the owners is a memeber on here.

I use Autoglym Alloy wheel cleaner (buy the 1ltr as you get more for your money). More recently i did buy a Alloy wheel cleaning brush as it helps gets in the difficult areas and is a softer brush.
