Registration starts AE, which means it was registered in Peterborough.

Almost certainly a US Airman.

Yep, all the cars around Mildenhall and Lakenheath are registered on A plates and are flown over from the US. I see loads of them in Cambridge where I work.

Anyone have any ideas on where the above GTI have been registered originally? Also an import.... Got no response off the seller yet. Decent price if insurance didn't kill me on it being an import, but its been up for sale for some time, so puts me off.

Thanks for the info.

I was after where the car originally came from as the advert says it has been imported, any clues on the lights/interior?

It says "UK import" and its right hand drive, that does kinda limit to where it might have come from.

Cyprus maybe?
