Title: Bad news for 16v Anni's
Post by: Leroy on 21 December 2012, 08:18: Well ive been keeping a keen eye on howmanyleft.com, seeing the number of 16v anni's drop, getting rarer and rarer. Only to look this morning and the number has gone UP!!! from 69 in Q2 of 2012 to 71 in Q3!

They are making a comeback!!!

8v anni's on the other hand have dropped from 260 in Q1, 233 in Q2 and now down to 227 in Q3 this year.

I have only spotted one other 16v anniversary whilst driving about, unless it was a replica

Post by: 67buggers on 21 December 2012, 20:20: How many in total (sorn'd and tax,d)were there in q2 compared to now? I know of a 16v anni being broken so its 1 less soon!

Post by: Leon27 on 22 December 2012, 12:55: The SORN figure remained the same but the registered car total increased by 2

http://www.howmanyleft.co.uk/vehicle/volkswagen_golf_gti_16v_anniversary

But in 2001 there were 182 16v Anni's wallowing about... thought only 150 were brought into the UK? Think the site may be a little wrong or a lot of 16v badges were sold :smiley:
