Title: Confirmation - How many oak green mk2 16v 3 doors were made?
Post by: AdamMk2 on 25 May 2009, 19:05: Anyone know as Im sure this figure is very much pulled out of the sky, I know at lease 15 people with a 3 door! and about the same with a 5 door!

Nice colour but I dont think the figure is at all right :sad:

There are rarer colours out there which get overlooked

Thats exactly what I was thinking (Not meaning to offend anyone)

Ive seen so many oak greens, and Id agree with you there are definately more rarer colours out there, but like you said its desirable and looks nice on a mk2 :cool:

Post by: dan7 on 25 May 2009, 22:39: The Oak Green isn't rare IMO, just a nice colour for the Mk2. And, agreed, there are rarer colours out there. One point I DO make to my fellow Mk2 owning friends, is, Oak Green is only available on GTi models, unlike most others!!!!! :cool:

Oak green isn't rare - just a bit more desirable. I'm so bored of people trying to palm off old stuff as 'rare'. I remember some guy trying to sell me electric windows a few years back, wanted £200 for the set - because they were rare. I settled with £30 off the bay thanks.

This is rare

Post by: drapergti on 26 May 2009, 08:01: Whilst a nice colour, over time this will become less "rare" as more desirable colours are likely to be restored!
