1981 Volkswagen Polo Formel E 1.1 petrol from Norway

Lower part of car had a lot of stone chips and was resprayed, no serious rust however.
Front headlight replaced due to condensation.
General Comments:
My mother's commuter car. Was the Formel E fuel saver edition. Had an econometer and a overdrive as fourth gear. Barebone version, not even a radio. Very reliable and ultra frugal, about 0.45 L/10km in average commuter consumption. Very cramped inside, but not used for any longer trips so not a big problem.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes
