Mine Are:

Renault 11 Turbo Zender:


The Ford Capri Tickford Turbo:


The Vectra Super Touring:


The Wood and Picket Metro:


The Volvo 340 R-Sport:


The Alpina B9 (Based on an E28 5 Series):

He said Rare. I cant seem to walk down the street in Germany without seeing one of these and smirking.

And there was a Pink Floyd Golf and a Polo Harlequin (that fking thing still gives me nightmares, you try writing a parts system that has to cope with paint orders on a multicoloured fking car).

as a 205 nut I have always wanted one of the Radio 1 specials



Very rare

Thats hilarious! I'd love to have been in the meeting where they thought hmmm, Bon Jovi, yes, yes, I love it!

The did a Polo Genesis model too! The stodgy aging rock band suited the stodgy aging polo really well at the time!

Do Cosworths count?

As far as I can remember didn't VW sponsor each of the bands major world tours back in the 90's?
