sorry, meant to say I don't like black wheels on dark cars - I've seen them on a white ED30 a while back and looked good :cool:  (is that the guy on here?)

Bloody nora :shocked:

£28.5k for an import. I bet a UK model with the same spec would still only be about the same price.

Thing is.. would these imports get onto the Edition 30 register and be passed off as UK models :angry:

There is a uk silver edition 30 up for 27,995 on autotrader at the minute!!!!

I wish we new how many edition 30's have been sold/left to sell! I can't help thinking they will make 3000 and just say they made 1500! I REALLY WISH THEY HAD NUMBERED THEM :angry:

More than likely.  What's to stop them as they aren't numbered?

United Grey, what's that all about? :huh: Surely its Steel Grey?  Also, these are imports, so how have they managed to get them in right-hand drive with those wheels?  I know Japan and Australia/New Zealand are right-hand drive countries, so were these vehicles meant for there?  I think a guy on this site imported from Holland and got the Pescaras, same as the UK. Also, was in Germany recently and the Ed30 they had in the showroom (left-hand drive of course) also had Pescaras.  I think the Rockinghams are an option on the Continent. Anyone have any thoughts on this?

I like the look of the black wheels. Different. The price reflects the high spec.
