VW Polo Harlequin,what colour on v5 reg. document.?

[wildone63]

Anyone here ever owned one?
I guess its probably been asked here before but,as the title says what would be printed on the reg.doc to describe the vehicle colour?
Perhaps multi-coloured?

20+ years ago there was a taxi company in Aberdeen who swapped the boot, bonnet and doors from black cars to white and vice versa.

Quick and cheap way to make the cars distinctive, and no need to respray at disposal - just swap the bits back.

Don't suppose they would have updated the V5.

Cant imagine what they thought they were going to gain by going to all that time & trouble

I did try to do a search before starting the thread but the search facility wasnt working.
I suppose one plus point of the Polo Harlequin was that it would be less likely to be twocced,obviously no joyrider wants to be in a car that the police will spot from a mile away.

I know it was common practice with some police forces in the 1960's to have white doors on their blue Morris Minor panda cars,a search of google images for 'Morris Minor panda car' will show only blue cars with white doors,but i dont think ive ever seen a white minor with blue doors.So i wonder if they just bought new white doors and fitted them or resprayed the original doors most of the time?
