You've made me search for the GTI now.

How come these are so cheap?

Almost never saw them. When they came out I remember a VW fanboi mate talking to a dealer their were friendly with who was only given two and sold the first one as it was on the delivery truck.

I'd have expected them to be prime car collection territory.

eg a shit modded one: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Volkswagen-Lupo-GTI-1-6-AVY-Petrol-Flash-Red-Gloss-Black-BBS-Leather-Interior/233736003752?hash=item366bc060a8:g:fhkAAOSwXYZe-kz~

eg a minty fresh one: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VW-Lupo-GTI-2005-Heated-Leather-Huge-History-Original/154139905724?hash=item23e3744ebc:g:NR0AAOSw8vpfhYb1&autorefresh=true

You can get the 1.0 much cheaper and leave budget for mods if you wanted to go on track, or a GTi is good if you just want a road car.

I guess I was just surprised in a world where plenty of other old cars seem to have jumped in value.

I'd have thought they would be much more rare in the UK than say an M3 or 205 GTi.

obvs I get all the other factors that play into it, but still.
