I was under the impression Clubsport S was limited numbers but standard Clubsport was just normal production...!
VW were a bit non committal about actual numbers, they stated that it was "unlikely" they'd bring more than 1000 units into the UK, so whether that was what the factory told VW UK they were having or whether Milton Keynes decided to keep numbers to a reasonable amount is anyone's guess (I think the fuss over the ED30 numbers has still scarred VW UK even ten years later).
More notable was the launch statement that the ClubSport was a limited production run giving no numbers but hinting at they'd only be built for a certain (again unspecified) amount of time. That kind of makes sense as by the time UK build slots got going the mk7's production in general was about to be slowly would down.
With Dieselgate hitting VW sales in general and the better value R (to which a huge amount of GTI owners had jumped ship to) kind of hints that the ClubSport wasn't a big seller and the amount left in showrooms and on forecourts now, plus however many VW may have registered as staff cars at HQ which will be eased into the network gradually might point to only a few hundred customer orders.
