I'll be honest and tell you straight away, I never knew that Volkswagen made a car called the Derby….. But it seems that the car in the picture is called just that. From what I can gather, VW called the saloon version of the Polo the Derby…. but they dropped the name in 1984. This car reminded me in some ways of a Japanese build car with its wide arches and wheels. The custom made diffuser and centre exhaust hint at its capacities.

Does anybody have more info on this car?
