I would say import as I cannot see anyone ordering it in a red that is not much different to flash.

hard to say really either someone wanted to be cool and wanted a rare colour and paid through the nose to have monza OR its had a full re-spray recently and they used the wrong red (i know alot of mk5's are monza) OR its an import but i reakon you would know if it was

UD registration is Oxfordshire, the sticker in the back window is a dealer in Perth, Scotland so it has travelled around a bit.

Yeah I bought the car from a guy in Scotland...

The sticker in the boot looks like the original VW Sticker and is aged enough to be original, with LQ3A printed on it.

I dont think it has had a full respray, because the paint looks like it has aged for about 10 years (scratches, surface rust in usual places) but all looks totally original... Theres no over spray anywhere either..

Im gonna ring VW again and see what they say. Such a bizzare situation and a pain in the ass as any replacement panels will always need a respray!

At least I have something semi-rare! :huh:

It could still be an import.

Yep you might be right Wayne... It doesnt say anything to indicate its an import on my V5, but hopefully VW should know.

At least its an official VW colour - so should be able to get some paint for my bonnet/grille/rusty door respray!

Thanks for all the help guys!

Just a thought, but being an R-reg means it's one of the last Mk3's to be made. Is there a possibility they used this colour on the last batch of Mk3's for some stupid reason?
