Possibly the only SA-registered example – and easily one of the coolest

One of the rarest little diesel hatches in the country is up for grabs. This 2001 Volkswagen Lupo 1.4 TDI blends quirky character, German efficiency and punchy diesel torque in a compact package that somehow still stands out parked next to serious builds.

Condition & Features

Mechanically solid with a few age-related quirks (nothing dramatic, all can be explained):

• Reverse light fuse currently popping intermittently
• Passenger window mechanism is temperamental

Interior and upgrades:

• Custom front seats: SEAT Leon Cupra bucket seats mounted to original Lupo seat frames – fully collapsible and adjustable, no dodgy brackets or welding
• OEM+ interior: Original GTI-style seat fabric front and rear for that factory-plus look
• Wheels: OEM Lupo GTI Bathurst alloys (similar look to Velociti wheels) with GTI centre caps
• Audio: Pioneer head unit with a stealth install – 10” Infinity sub in the boot with a hidden amplifier, and still retains a proper spare wheel underneath

Included with the car:

• Original seats
• New top shock mounts
• Spare window mechanism
• Various service parts (air filter, diesel filter, etc.)
