This 1995 Volkswagen Polo GLX is finished in black over a Confetti-pattern interior and shows 32,171 miles on Cupra-sourced instrument clocks. Originally delivered as a GLX model, this example has been professionally converted approximately 8–10 years ago to run an AYP-code 1.8-liter turbocharged engine paired with the correct manual gearbox, mounts, and supporting components. The installation is described as comprehensive, retaining the proper exhaust routing through to the catalytic converter and incorporating all necessary hardware to create a well-integrated performance build. The car is not equipped with air conditioning.
The exterior was refinished in black at some point in its life, and the respray is reported to have been completed to a high standard, with evidence of the color change visible only beneath the boot floor carpet. The car sits on 15-inch Wolfrace alloy wheels with good tires and features a fiberglass aftermarket front bumper, which shows some corner damage and stone chips. Spax adjustable suspension with height and damping control has been installed along with upgraded front and rear anti-roll bars, giving the car a purposeful stance. Additional braking upgrades include large drilled front discs and a rear GTI axle with disc brakes. Minor imperfections include a small crack in the lower corner of the windscreen, slight crushing to the sills from prior jack use, and light surface rust on the front strut towers beneath the arches. The passenger-side CV boot shows a minor leak and can be replaced if required.
The cabin features a full Recaro interior sourced from a Cupra model, replacing the original GLX seats. The interior presents in very clean condition with minimal wear, consistent with the mileage displayed. The GLX specification includes front electric windows, which are functional, along with manual rear windows and a factory sunroof. The headliner is sagging, and the sunroof seal allows some moisture ingress; this can be addressed prior to sale if requested. A battery relocation to the boot has been carried out, and Cupra clocks currently display 32,171 miles. MOT records align with this figure, though additional documentation is being sought to determine whether the mileage reflects the chassis at the time of conversion or was reset to correspond with the engine and instrument change.
Further modifications include a Milltek exhaust system and a set of rare aftermarket front headlights, now increasingly difficult to source. The driver-side headlamp shows peeling of the reflective surface and some flaking of the black casing. The paintwork remains glossy overall, though light marks consistent with prior use of a car cover are present and would likely respond well to machine polishing.
