The Brazilian Gol had a front engined aircooled Type1.  I wouldn't like to say
if it was a Polo or Golf body - though I tend to think it was Golf.

They made a Polo Sprint - a squareback Polo with a 1900cc rear-mounted flat four
watercooled digijet producing 136hp.  Since our Polo scrabbles its front wheels
on 45hp, I think they were wise to rear-mount the engine!
