My 1.1c sits happily at 90 on the motorway (100.5 was the record!!), i'd be close to the red line though. The 1.1 and 1.3 are little screamers, but i think you should be worrying at 60mph.

If it's of any help, I remember that, in my 1.3 CL (slightly different ratios, but still a 4-speed 'box), at 70mph, the revs were at 3600. (CL has a tacho).
It was noisy, and I always meant to get a 5-speed Polo 'box, but the engine didn't seem to mind, and was still going strong at 155k miles when I retired it, due to rust (It's awaiting restoration, see below :wink: )

they all rev on motorway less u get a later driver/gl/cl box from a mk2 or a td box but you lose a lot of acceleration and you will need 5 speed selector to do job right
