This 1999 Volkswagen Polo Colour Concept is a well-preserved example of a rare and distinctive factory edition, finished in blue over a matching black and blue interior. Showing 135,220 kilometers, this two-door Polo is powered by a 1.6-liter petrol engine paired with a manual transmission and features several high-spec factory options not commonly found on standard models.
Originally registered in Germany, this car has remained there since new and was only recently deregistered for export. The Colour Concept edition was a special trim level offered by Volkswagen in the late 1990s, combining bold color-matched exteriors with vibrant interiors and an upgraded feature set. This example is equipped with air conditioning, heated front seats, and electric windows—all impressive luxuries for a compact car of its era.
The exterior presents in a deep blue metallic finish that pairs perfectly with the black and blue color scheme inside the cabin. It sits on the distinctive “Borat” alloy wheels, a period-correct design that complements the Polo’s playful yet purposeful styling. The paint retains good shine overall, and the bodywork appears straight and tidy for its age, reflecting the car’s careful long-term ownership.
Inside, the interior shows off the hallmarks of the Colour Concept series with contrasting blue accents and sport-style seats. The materials and trim are in clean, original condition, with all equipment said to function properly, including the air conditioning and seat heaters. The driving position is classic late-’90s Volkswagen—simple, ergonomic, and well built.
Mechanically, the 1.6-liter engine starts easily and runs smoothly from cold, and the manual gearbox shifts cleanly through the gears with a light, precise feel. The clutch engages at a low biting point, suggesting recent attention or replacement. This Polo benefits from the dependable mechanical simplicity of the era, making it both an enjoyable driver and an easy car to maintain.
