I bid on this a few weeks ago (in the Zoom call!), it had flat paint and HGF but looked tidy. 

Image 1 - vw polo mk2f breadvan , genesis .

The chap that bought it has polished it, swapped the engine out, and added £1200 to the price... 

Decent little upgrade on the engine, mind. Funny with those wheels - I was thinking it looks over-wheeled and then read they're Lupo 14" steels...

I do hope the brakes have been upgraded. Polo brakes for that generation were adequate at best.....

I concur - used to have a saloon Polo of that generation. Pressing the brake pedal felt more like a suggestion that the car should maybe consider slowing down, rather than a direct control. :D

If the seller hasn't bothered amending the V5 document to reflect his engine change, then he probably hasn't bothered with the braking system either.

Pay £1650 for a possible death trap. WCPGW?

No progress from the poor brakes on my first car - a Mk1 Golf - from 15 years earlier then.

Some, but not much.

Mk2F brakes were a significant improvement on Mk2s.

That's not my cousin's experience when he bought a brand-new 2f.

Is it resting on an axle stand?

I think it's a 'kerb feeler'...
