Just why...

I mean why... ?

WHY?!?!?!?!

Its apparently a VW polo harlequin... presumably because of its comparative attractiveness to a harlequin foetus....

Those Polos were done as a joke by VW. They first appeared in a April Fools day advert in the national paper and VW got a few strange people ringing up and ordering them. I think it was 1995/6 as they are on N or P reg.

Odd that bikers are questioning a multicoloured vehicle - think what your average car driver's thoughts are on sports bikes with all sorts of different colours and stickers stuck everywhere Smile.

Well I was browsing Ebay and saw this:

Not as bad as the Polo but could feature in MaxPower Magazine.

I saw one of those in Taunton! Surprised

I did a double take, thought 'surely they haven't replaced every single panel!?' but noticed it does kind of co-ordinate, so guessed they were produced like that. I guess it's a talking point! Laughing

Of course! Harlequins are a Rugby Union team, and when you see their kit it makes sense..

Nothing to do with the Rugby team, please see my comment above as it was an April Fools joke which people actually wanted.

"On April 1st, 1995, just like on previous years, Volkswagen put out an advertisement in the German newspapers meant as a practical joke. The advertisement featured a strange version of the VW Polo, in which each external section of the car (door, hood, etc.) was painted in a different color. To the surprise of the company, the model, named the Polo "Harlequin" (after the famous clown), became a widespread success. In response to the hundreds of phone calls from customers inquiring for the price of the new model, and demanding to be told where it could be purchased, Volkswagen's management decided to turn the lark into a real product."

I remember seeing the advert in the Daily Express that day. Just a shame there are not many great April fool jokes going around the papers these days. The article quoted does say German papers but it appeared here in Blighty.
