Just found this on Topgear.com: www.topgear.com/content/news/stories/1796/

How about a group buy? Maybe we can keep the shipping cost down!

Honstly. If they sold those here for £10k they wouldn't be able to make them quickly enough!!

Am I the only person that thinks they look completely rubbish?

Yes.

I would love one of those. I think it costs about a grand to ship a car from SA to the UK.

Gotta be worth a punt shirley?

Very neat!

A 3-door version, yes.... The 5-door as posted, No I'm afraid.

Look what they've done to the back...



Such a shame they haven't continued with the 3dr... I'd love a clean mk1.

3 door is and never was a popular seller in SA-much harder to squeeze 8 ppl in when you only have 2 doors......

This isn't new, they just haven't stopped making since the 70's with continual upgrages and cosmetic changes.

I love it.

At the current exchange rate of 15 Rand to the pound, this makes the 1.6 CitiSport (0-60 in 9.7s) approx £6280 !

even with shipping to UK, import tax, VAT etc this will still be £9k tops all in ?

I agree. It seem's to have the basic MK1 shape but the inside and rear are just horrible. Just look at the dash. It would probably be a laugh for an hour or so.

It's a really ugly Frankenstein of a car.

I wouldnt mind one. TBH I think VW-UK should import this rather than the crappy 'Fox'.

It's a Mark 1 Skoda Fabia dash!
