Title: I bought a GTI
Post by: WAWGTi on 18 October 2023, 21:04
Hi all.
Very new to the VW gang. First time I will be owning a GTI , . I've gone for the Clubsport and the 45 anniversary edition.
Not picked it up yet so not quite over the line.
I'm coming from a MK3 Focus RS , Just hope I'm doing the right thing !

Quick question , How many 45 Editions were made in the UK ?? I can't seem to find the answer on the tinterweb .

Thanks  :smiley:

Welcome WAW!  :smiley:

The Ed45 will lack the drama of an RS for sure so let’s hope you’ve done the right thing, but it’s a great package as far as 4 pot 2.0’s go.
I’ve got a normal Clubsport and have had it almost three years now, I certainly didn’t expect to keep it that long as normal 18 months is good going for me.

No idea on the numbers of 45’s, there certainly won’t be more than a few hundred. Maybe post up a thread in the mk8 section as someone is bound to have an idea even if just going from sites like ‘howmanyleft’

Like Exonian, I have a relatively early Clubsport (had from new for 27 months now). 

I've only ever seen one other Clubsport on the road and haven't seen a 45 yet.   

I only live 15 miles from Birmingham so it's not like I'm in the sticks either.

According to the DVLAs statistics, as of the end of Q2 2023 there were 133 Edition 45s on the road, and 2 SORN.

"2 sorn" I bet delivery mileage too.
