Yes, as I said in the main Edition 50 thread, my inter columbo found this 1500 out via auto trader Murray Newton Abbot ad. How did you find this info?

The plaques are defo not happening, you can see posters here with RHD UK cars delivered without a plaque. That's a shame!

Unless they start doing mega lease deals like in the EU when they launched in the EU at 399 PCM, no chance 1500 pieces will be sold. Sub 1000.

VW seems have have forgot the concept of trades off. It should have been either very exclusive and limited production worldwide and customers pay full RRP or its a serial production car thus often reasonable offers to entice new customers to off-set the RRP of the car. Then they would easily shift 1500 cars. You can't be sitting in both fences.

• expensive to replace and presumably quite rare, so (very?) difficult for insurance companies to source replacements if they are damaged or stolen; I can vaguely remember reading that because of their desirability, there were instances of them being stolen from the mk7 Clubsport S.
• insurance company premiums for the mk8 would have factored in the existence of the standard seat airbag safety feature, so disabling / deleting it in theory increases the risk of injury to front seat occupants in the event of a side impact.
