Number of Clubsport Edition 40s Imported into the UK

Nice one Faisal.
I wonder if this includes VW pre-reg'd cars that have never been taxed though? There are still 80 odd sitting on forecourts and some haven't ever turned a wheel on public roads.

The SMMT would probably have the true figures but you'd need to wait a while until all units are on the road fully registered in the UK.

I was also after this info and posted in the Clubsport thread before seeing this page!
I remember reading the press release when they were launched and it did seem a bit vague on numbers. They seemed to imply there would be 'around' 1000 units produced but with no hard stop number in place.
I think they were just trying to get as many orders in saying it would be 'first come, first served'

However being £31-32K basic price + options - it was probably a tough choice for a new car with some many other competitors (which are all faster! - Focus RS, M135i, Golf R, S3).

Not sure how often this is updated but howmanyleft seem to indicate 514 registered Edition 40 cars at the moment.

Interesting that the CSS has allegedly exceeded the 15 0units. Also, I make that 677 CS over the two years?

Sorry I think you are not reading it correctly.
The number under the 2017 column is what you are looking for.
It is a cumulative figure - so 93 CSS registered in 2016 (total) and then 115 in 2017 so far - so there were an additional 22 registered in the 1st quarter of this year.

Also not included in those figures is 6 Clubsport's which are SORN and 10 Clubsport S

Also it looks like the figures will be updated at the end of each quarter - so hopefully in the next week or so the numbers should increase to reflect those registered by the dealers in the last few months.

That's less than clear in the table which is headed 'cars licensed per year' but I see what you mean when looking at the site and also the meaning of the site, i.e. How many left...

By poverty spec cars  do you mean omission of certain clubsport specs like the red edged seat belts /normal sills?
Have emailed VW Germany head office  about this but they keep referring me to VWUk, the very people who don't know anything about their cars apart from marketing PR

Poverty spec is a commonly used term from the motortrade to describe a car with no options fitted.
It came from the days when you were lucky to get carpet and a heated rear screen as standard, never mind luxuries like a basic radio or a passenger side wing mirror. A bit of a misnomer nowadays but it's an amusing enough depiction in a British sort of way so is still used.




Get some pics up NK

Loving the Silver.
Properly reminds me of the MK1

[Exonian]

Silver really is THE colour for a Clubsport IMO

The CS looks great in silver.

I would say that as my old Campaign BRM (2.0L) was the inspiration for me buying a 3door PP in Tungsten silver.




Perhaps it needs the lower stripes?

I think silver really suits the shape. Shame they dropped it for the 7.5 as was going to be my choice.
