Volkswagen Polo Mk2

The Volkswagen Polo Mk2 is the second generation of the Polo supermini, produced from late 1981 until 1994 and given a major facelift in 1990. It came in three body styles, including a distinctive kammback-styled hatchback nicknamed the breadvan in the UK and the Steilheck, or steep tail, in Germany, and a sedan that usually carried the name Derby. Internally the Typ 86C, it was introduced in October 1981 with an almost vertical rear window. A Coupé that echoed the Mk1's styling was added in 1983, using the roof panel and side windows of the Derby, and the saloon became the Polo Classic in all markets from 1984. Production began in Spain through Volkswagen's early collaboration with SEAT. After a mild facelift in August 1984 the base 40 PS engine joined the 55 and 75 PS units on the Coupé.
