Volkswagen Polo Harlekin (6N series), a pop icon of the '90s and an increasingly rare collector's item. 1996 example with the sought-after Colour Combination No. 3 and, the detail that makes all the difference, the native body shell in Ginster Yellow (code L132): Harlekins were built from a single-colour body shell, and the panels were then swapped on the assembly line.
Against an initially planned production of 1,000 units, Volkswagen built approximately 3,806 worldwide between 1995 and 1997. According to L'Automobile (ACI), just over ten examples are believed to be currently in circulation in Italy.
