This year, we are celebrating 50 years of the Polo by giving away this stunning Harlequin!
Ha=
So the story is, after chatting in the workshop about what car we should be building for 2025 SAG Brad & Magic came up with the idea of a Polo 6n as its 50 years of the Polo; all of a sudden like 100mph ( if you know magic could of been 200mph ) we were building a Harlequin replica!
The hunt started to find a 1995. although it was introduced to the UK in 1996. we wanted to stay true with a 1995; we need a 1995 / 5 dr / 6n – Easy right? Lots and lots of searching then followed a few was found but they was just not right until Dennis rang Magic.
MAGIC, MAGIC I’ve found one !!!! and he was right. So, the call was made and the guys selling it were totally on board with the idea; he even gave us a few hundred quid off it , The car was his late mothers (Nessa) and had been left to him when she sadly passed away. The time had come to find Nessy a new home and what’s better than a tribute car that will help families and children at Christmas time.
With the deal done Magic grabbed a lift from his long time friend J Royce who was travelling back to Australia via Heathrow, which so happened to be just by the wee polo. Trade plates in and a massive leap of faith Nessa was driven back to Volksmagic via a little stop off at Surrey Autoworks to do a few checks ensuring all was good. A cuppa with the guys and the resto story continues soon!
So with a whole load of anniversaries going on:
Nessa would have been 100 this year
The VW Polo mark is 50
VW Polo Harlequin 30
And Santas a Gangster 10; yes, we are in our tenth year!
Nothing special was brewing in Magic head, so now we have the Volksmagic Harlequin collection:

Raleigh burner BMX
More to come; Keep watching!

Mission Christmas: Cash for Kids
Gifts Galore
Each year, Santa’s a Gangster comes together with all of their many supporters to collect toys and gifts for people that need them. Our goal is to try and ensure that no-one wakes up without a gift under the tree on Christmas morning. To this end, we have joined forced with Free Radio’s Mission Christmas: Cash for Kids as they have the network in place to ensure the gifts we donate, go where they are most needed. In 2023, this amazing organisation (with the help of Santa), delivered 312,063 presents.
We could do none of this without the support of our many sponsors and it’s not too late to join them!

Never Forgotten
Jim Cousins R.I.P
Yes, he checked out in November 2019 and headed to a galaxy far, far away and we so miss him. Jim and Louise have been a massive part of Santa’s a Gangster from day one, not only sorting out advertising and printing, but also being a huge collection point for us. This years car give away is that little bit more special because it was actually Jims own buggy, kindly donated by his family, and when you see it, you won’t believe your eyes!
Louise has carried on helping, collecting, and promoting; She’s a true super star!
