LR5V Posted March 21, 2020 Report Share Posted March 21, 2020 Being driven by a lady in her 60-70's It was a great sight to see, it was a bit rough, but not much wrong - I was tempted to go say don't get rid, going up in value and that they are pretty rare... but in these weird times it didn't seem right.

lupo1.0se Posted March 21, 2020 Report Share Posted March 21, 2020 I was told a story once from the Vw dealer i bought my Up from. They said when they first got a Gti in they sold it to a older person... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LR5V Posted March 21, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2020 @mk2 - I was thinking the same thing @lupo1.0se. - when my wife and older Neil our both first saw my Lupo they both individually said “what a nice shopping car!” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mk2 Posted March 21, 2020 Report Share Posted March 21, 2020 I became aware of lupos about 2005. Loads were about but never really noticed them. One turned up in the lab where we were working on developing a twin supercharged 3.6 fsi engine. It was nitro yellow green (or fantasia is it?), stripped out and race ready. We were asked to map it and that's it. I thought, what a cute little car. Only a some years later did I seek out a diesel Lupo as an occasional spare car. Got a few now.... oh dear.

Whereabouts did you see this? I know of a Tornado GTI driven by a older lady in South Oxfordshire, if its the same one then I believe she's had it for at least 10+ years.
