Dare Posted February 5, 2005 Report Share Posted February 5, 2005 yeah book values on loops and arosas are silly....but they are desirable little cars. my standard silver GTI always gets attention and people are always asking about it. i dont think Ill want to ever get rid of it though. Even if I get something faster, more expensive etc etc the little loop is a special little motor Completely agree :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyhliu Posted February 10, 2005 Report Share Posted February 10, 2005 Sorry to butt in but I thought I own a Polo GTI and wrote in to VW to ask about the numbers of Polo GTIs, they wrote back and informed me that the production numbers was 3500 of them, whether that was for the whole of the UK or Europe I'm not sure...Can't imagine there would be that many Lupo GTIs around but then again they are still in production, having said that I see my Polo GTIs than Lupos!

AndyW Posted February 10, 2005 Report Share Posted February 10, 2005 Thanks for the info ye of unpronouncable username style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> Maybe we could get some clublupo headed paper and write a letter. I'm thinking in the region of `2-3000`, maybe about the same as the polo, but I as yet can't think of a reasoned and intelligent piece of evidence to back this up style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted February 10, 2005 Report Share Posted February 10, 2005 Come to think of it i reckon the amount of polo gti's will be around the same as the lupo gti. As polo gti's are just as rare as lupo gti's in my book. Well in the north east they are. They have around the same performance, about the same cost from new. anyway it would be nice to know an official figure though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev_Ush Posted February 11, 2005 Report Share Posted February 11, 2005 If you write to the DVLA, they should be able to tell you how many are still registered on the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bossjohnc Posted February 11, 2005 Report Share Posted February 11, 2005 Polo GTIs are far from rare around here - it's not uncommon for me to see 2 or 3 on my 5 minute trip in to work!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dare Posted February 11, 2005 Report Share Posted February 11, 2005 As polo gti's are just as rare as lupo gti's in my book Cant say that i agree with that. Ive only ever seen one other lupo gti on the road, where as ive seen countless polo's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

payna Posted February 11, 2005 Report Share Posted February 11, 2005 i agree with adam on this, there aint many polo gti's round these parts. i think i have only ever seen a handfull of them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted February 11, 2005 Report Share Posted February 11, 2005 it must be a regional thing! i think both the polo and lupo gti are a lot rarer up here in the north which is a bonus for me as you get some great looks off people!payna you up for the meet on sunday 27th feb? silverlink?

bossjohnc Posted February 11, 2005 Report Share Posted February 11, 2005 Lupo GTI is rare everywhere I think - I certainly get some looks down here. Not nearly as many as when you see two or more together though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted February 11, 2005 Report Share Posted February 11, 2005 yeah, i hope there is a good turnout at this meet in 2 weeks time, will be funny too see more than the one lupo in the same place at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TANNER Posted February 13, 2005 Report Share Posted February 13, 2005 I wouldnt say they were rare around by me either, but I am sad enough to know where local ones live etc.eg. Andy W is about 2 miles up the road from me, M1 Lupo lives around 6miles away and then there are 2 black non members i see going to work some mornings and also sum guy in a silver 1 too but he never flashes back!! There is a blue 1 and a black 1 in my gf's village and some looney in another silver 1 keeps racing my mates Corrolla Tsport and he thought it was me.Rambled on there, sorry! style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
