L6UPO. (Finally there) 1st car. New discovery. Whilst on the search for lupo open air cars. I found T65DBW. Now knowing T63DBW was a press car I made enquires and it came up this one had the L6upo plate. So another press car to the list. It did feature in Autocar magazine May 1999 and Top Gear Magazine October 1999. Autocar mentioned it included air conditioning and alloy wheels as optional extras. I have seen interior photos and it looks like a dark grey interior with green centres, with 3 seater bench seat, and it had heated seats installed too. It was last used on L6upo plate in April 2000. UPDATE. Currently for sale (31/3/2018). New pics on Page 3. Has been fitted with leather interior from a gti or later sport at some point in its life. Was owned by Tom1234177 ***New Find *** 2nd car is a Blue Lupo Tdi. This I found whilst searching old Volkswagen Driver Magazines. Pic attached. This car is not the same as L3upo or L4upo due to they had sunroof/ open air fitted. Also being a earlier tdi this would be fitted with Tim and Tom interior. 3rd car is a Red Lupo gti. From what I can tell it is a wolfsberg built car. Also it looks like it has leather interior too. This is not OY02JCJ due to this appearing in artciles before OY02JCJ was registered. 4th car is a silver lupo gti. A Belgium built car. As found on parkers. It has red interior and air con fitted. Parkers have a lot of pictures of this one. Update - plate for this car is ox04akj and us owned by a member called 'Blade'. Pictures to come shortly. Plate held from August 2004 to July 2005. Update. Pic supplied of the car thanks to blade. More pics on page 3.

L5UPO. The first car (press photo found very recently, featured in Evo August 2000) was a bit of suspicion. I thought I'd do a free check. It came up as having a private plate L5upo fitted. Another press car. The reg is OW51LCZ. My suspicion came about because of the leather interior as I had one exactly like it (with side airbags etc). Here is a pic. It was last used with the L5upo plate in June 2003. Off the road as off 29/12/2018. The owner is on Facebook but I am unsure of its current status. The 2nd car is a silver Lupo Gti and probably second well known to X907NJO. It is a Wolfsberg built car. As found on many websites including parkers. Cannot see any optional extras fitted. Also featured in "the golf magazine" and Vwm. From the pictures I have seen this car had no optional extras fitted.

L4UPO Updated. 1st car is a Yellow 1.0. As found on parkers It had a 1ltr engine fitted. Also probably the earliest use of this plate as the headrests are solid (standard on early lupos). Update 1. Also as featured in Volkswagen Audi Car magazine. However a slight change was added in that it was fitted with Sport Raider wheels. Whether this is the same lupo or not I cannot be 100% but there are too many similarities to say other wise (same interior etc). Update 2. Was featured in Autocar March 1999 test by Chris Harrs no less and to confuse things more, also featured in Autocar 14th April 1999 as a different reg T51JEP. Now I am 99.9% confident this is the same car. T51JEP is a plate that was used by auto car on various cars, in the March issue it was used on Silver Mini test to Spain. Pic of the car is now attached. Every detail I can see looks identical. Thanks to James Bransley for pointing this out. I found the cars real registration by chance because of the sister car registered T75DBW which sort of made me wonder whether there was others registered around it. Which T76DBW was. I then did a check and I cross checked the chassis number for this car and the sister car (T75DBW) and the chassis came back as the car I was looking for. Still on the road as of 1/2/2020. 2nd car is green 1.4 lupo sport. As found on honest john. Also in autocar magazine Sept 1999. It is another early lupo as it has solid headrests. Also quite an early sport as it has light grey tim and tom interior. It was on here under the owner of Marky82. It last used on the L4UPO plate in July 2000. Original Registration T35DWL. But this reg was not coming up. Then I remembered who purchased it. It is now on reg L22UPO. Car is currently sorned but still in existance. 3rd car is a green 1.4 lupo. As found on honest john. It is the one I know the least about. It has a open air sunroof and leather interior (so cannot be an E so either S, Sport or Tdi). The car later photoshopped to appear blue. Page 5 shows how i uncovered this. 4th one is a Silver Lupo Gti as featured in Car magazine October 2001 hot hatch of the year test. This car is fitted with a 6 speed transmission. It did go through to the final 5 but it went against a Mini and a MG ZR. It does not look to have aircon fitted. Cannot tell regarding interior.

L3UPO 1st Car is a 1.4 Automatic as featured in What Car Magazine November 1999.Tested against a Toyota Yarris and a fiat cinquecento. Believed to be a S spec because of side trims. Also a small picture appeared in Autocar 20th October 1999, but on a flyer inside. It is under "Car Price Index" 2nd Car (X376XJO) is a 1.4 Lupo Sport in yellow as appeared on old top gear being reviewed by Tiff Needell. It also featured on men & motors review by Ginny Buckley. This one is another unusual one in that it also have leather interior too (colour concept 6mins in). The plate was removed from the car on 4/3/2002 and transferred to the car below. The car was recetnly up for sale and sold for £500. The seller was going to break the car but that did not happen due they did not have time. Since subsquently made road worthy and back on the road. ) 3rd car is a 1.4 tdi lupo in blue as used by Jeremy Clarkson in the TDi vs petrol challenge (Top Gear) and it was featured on men and motors show car file in a review by Brendan Coogan. It also has a sunroof fitted and aircon. The last I heard of this car it was in Northern Ireland. The member was R-P who owned it. After reviewing the thread he go an offical response from Vw confirming what it was. He did post pics at the time but these has since gone down. But the response in the attached thread.

Ok .This is where it gets rather complicated. Lets start with L2UPO 1st one is a green 1.4s as appeared on Men and Motors as tested by Richard Hammond, also it featured in July 2001 issue of Volkswagen Driver.. This one is probably the most unique lupo out there as from the video. I could see it had light grey leather interior with side air bag and solid headrest. This can possibly be the only of its type. 2nd one is a black Lupo Gti as appeared in press photography of the time. I can tell it is a Wolfsberg built car. I have seen a photo of the interior (on honest john website). and this car was specified with Aircon. 3rd one is a red lupo gti. As appeared on drive tribe. Another Wolfsberg built car. I don't have any further details on this one as I have no interior photos etc. 4th one is a silver lupo gti. Found on Alamy stock photos. Another Wolfsberg built car. It has a sunroof, leather interior (with side airbags) and aircon. This one we actually have some more information on. It was mentioned in the thread linked. Real plate was OE02 ... Is owned by Steve C. Also further information has come to light. A picture of it being tested by Tiff Needell none the less! Extra picture added. Thanks Autocar As it stands today. (29/8/2017)

I mentioned this a while ago. So today I had some time and I have compiled every photo I could find of lupo press cars. With thanks to the following sources Ebay Men and Motors YouTube channel Top gear (old and new) Honest John Parkers Car Enthusiast.

The ones where we have registrations for. (Not L*UPO series) T61DBW. As appeared in Car Magazine in June 1999 as a comparison test against the Toyota Yaris. Also featured in What Car? July 1999 against a Ford Ka. It is 1.4s, it does have a three seater bench seat fitted, also unusually had heated seats fitted too and Air Con. Dvla cannot find anything but it was on the road as recently as February 2017 (Scrapped) T62DBW. As appeared in Volkswagen Audi car magazine and Top Gear Mini Test (August 1999). It is a 1.4s with a rare three seater bench seat fitted and heated front seats. UPDATE - Since found a current picture of the car. It still retains its original 3 seater bench seat. But It looks like it has been modified with lowered suspension and 15" wheels (according to advert). Pic since added. Advert is on last post. Needs a new gearbox.. T63DBW. As appeared on Men and Motors. Its a 1.4 Petrol. This car has since been scrapped (2009). Although however the mileage was low at 27000 miles when the car was scrapped. So I think I am safe in saying it must of been in accident X554CBW. As appeared on a VW accessories brochure. It is a 1.4 Sport. Sorn since 2013. It had a votex grill (similar to ABT) and spoiler fitted as an option. MAJOR UPDATE 11/3/2018. See last page of thread. Also this had light grey interior. X904NJO. As appeared in What Car?

Still on the road as of 28/8/2017 To be honest. This one I heard a rumour back in 2016 that this was a press car. But no evidence had come up until recently. Thanks to JB1.0e and Matthewrspca. This has now been cleared up. It was used in Volkswagen Driver Magazine to review the 6 speed box. Here is a pic of the article and how it stands today. Still on the road as of 17/5/2018.

Still on the road as of 29/12/2018. Any further info on this car would be appreciated.

Thanks. Thought it was you

Was at Deutsche fest at Brands Hatch Today and I was awarded a Top 10 award. Just to clarify what that entails. I was in the top 10 of all cars in the show shine which included BMW's, Audis, Mercedes and Volkswagens. So I will be there tomorrow in the Winner Row where an extra 5 wildcard cars will be entered too (So top 15 including Wild Card cars). Then a vote (on facebook) will open to visitors to vote for all 15 cars for car of show. Here is a pic from the show.

I checked with Dale when he was around. Best way to confirm is to check the vw system. Lupogtiboy maybe able to help

Mine a silver. Not sure on that one. But my are original I believe.

Pretty much. Obviously a b in the serial number. 6 Speed was standard after year 2002 (so wolfsberg ones where built 6 speed).

Thank you

I won't be there. Other commitments

No probs. Just recalling on favoritism. I have seen one judge 4 shows I have been to or going to.

He did. I ran through what I have done etc. To be honest 98/100. I do not think the accessories would made much difference. I have an original brochure, dealer vs, vw lupo coat, original vw lupo chilli sample too I have a pair of roof bars but not key. I got them for a real bargain.

Should be silver I if a Belgium one

All the photos re-uploaded now. Also won at a couple of shows as well Vw Tomie- won some tickets for the Kent Vw fest Bundle of dubz. Highly commended (although I left early so I got this in the post.) Here is a pic though.

The silver gti on the engine cover is because it was built in Belgium. In Wolfsburg built it was 1.6 16v There were other minor differences too

That's nearly every option ticked there. The was only four options in the UK. Which is sunroof, aircon, leather (includes heating I think but could be provided on cloth interior too) and side airbags (rare to see/ if fitted as standard then would have the lupo 5 star ncap rated. Too think four years before that the metro scored 1 star)

Considering that it's ex vw then it must have a little more value. Then it will have a premium. Here is a press pic of that plate. Although l5upo is probably the more well known gti wise. L3upo was the tdi used on top gear m25 petrol vs diesel challenge. Also the plates where rotated around a bit. It's something that requires further research http://www.wbwagen.com/a67e69f7b6958677-2000-volkswagen-lupo-gti-2002-2000-volkswagen-lupo-gti-2002.html What options did it have?

1. I heard that too about the thinner steel. 2.bonnet and doors are aluminium. So are the front wings 3. Glass is thinner. That's the reason it has the guide on the front. If it is not there it does not close as easily. 4. Answered in point 2. 5. Battery in the boot, completely different shell, no option for pop out windows (have seen conversions But requires drilling), earlier cars had 5 speed, later 6 speed gearbox. Not all where built in Wolfsburg (later ones built in Belgium, you can tell via the chassis number), spoiler unique to gti, laser blue rarest colour

Not where that figure came from as it puts it close to the polo gti. I have seen quoted between £14000 -£15000. Considering the lupo gti was about £13000 New before options it does not seem bad. It has to compete with the likes of the twingo rs so it has to be competitive in priced

Unfortunately not. Will have a look though

Will need to sort photobucket. But have no pc at present. Will do once that's sorted

Lupo badge you cannot get New anymore. Sorry Centre caps. Is just the badge you require? They are on eBay. It Is the 88mm ones
