Clubsport Edition 40 and Clubsport S build numbers (and car photos)

I know what you mean of course  don't mean to be annoying

I'm a big fan of Clubsports, I actually bought one last year, paid deposit, financed arranged, but I cancelled it after giving it more thought, only due to the money it was going to cost, but I often regret that decision.

It was a white 3 door,black roof, leather,  from a VW dealer in Wigan

Don't worry mate, I don't think you're annoying anyone! And I did genuinely look into it all including even fitting a wavetrac LSD.

Photos will have to wait now as I've been driving it around the countryside for the last hour and a few things have died on the front  :-( Great fun though!

cool...look forward to seeing the pics

You're right...it would be better than a clubsport.

Lighter weight, better brakes, better handling, faster

  good answer!

Wow!    ^^^^

There seem to be quite a few for sale, I was surprised to see Volkswizard advertise his own Clubsport S, is the UP GTi really that good? 

My son has the same engine in an Ibiza FR.
It’s nippy and fun plus has the MQB chassis which is leagues ahead of an up! chassis.

The up! GTI is probably a more useable fun package than a Clubsport S if you’re just using it as a road car in normal conditions and don’t expect to be taking all comers from the lights.
The up! GTI has massive limitations though.
But it’s cheap and fun and does 45mpg without trying.

Andrew (volkswizard) is a car dealer and journo so probably doesn’t get attached to cars.
He has a highly modded Ed30 for track use and the up! GTI for a daily. Plus a good few more cars in the garage.
It’s probably just a case of “up for sale at the right price, but if not...”

Just to add to that.
According to VW Driver mag Mr Volkwizard Chapple has two up! GTI’s ordered.

Iirc in one of his videos he says hes selling the white one on order.

With a relatively low base price, I am surprised there is enough margin to make it worthwhile to flip an Up GTi ?

I parked up at a client today and managed to take a quick picture. Loving the car so far!
