Stormtrooper TCR arrives...

[Gnasher]

Been toying with the idea of changing mine for a TCR but I'm not that impressed with the grey.

I had a look and was surprised there were no white 3 door TCRs about. Did they not do them in white prior to stopping doing them in 3 door?

I've only seen red and grey in 3 door. I think there's a forum member with an Oryx white 3 door. I think the main problem is just how few have been made as I suspect they are extremely rare in any colour..

I just looked at TCR on Autotrader. of the 110 cars for sale, only 6 were 3 door examples.

That is more skewed than I expected?

That's me Watts, and still loving every minute of ownership although I'd be hard pushed to describe the car as white just at the mo.  The period between VW announcing rather quietly that 3 door production would cease and closing the books to further orders was only a few weeks which is I guess why there are so few around, and as with the 5 door Pure Grey seems to be by far the most popular colour, but they were available to order in all the colours that the 5 door is.

3 door Stormtrooper TCR here  . Yes you are correct Philip, 3 door TCRs only available to order for a short time, think about 6 weeks, March and a few weeks in April 2019.

That's a fantastic looking car - awesome in red with the black roof & details. Just what sort of treatment has it had over that 5500mi?

I have seen that one along with another red one at a VW dealer in Norwich, both have Prets and sunroofs. Not sure I want a sunroof. The one you've linked has the TCR logo missing from above the sills and the other has the full TCR stickers on! The Volkswizard car has to be the best one to go for, just not sure about the grey yet. Oh, and spending the £17k, that'll smart a bit! Thing is, even though I'm interested in changing I haven't lost any interest in my current car which I love so this is going to be a difficult decision. I might not be ready yet but we'll see.

I was only kidding - but understand your predicament. My view is that there are going to be some TCR bargains about early in 2020 as there are now around 110 listed on Autotrader and with them dropping to the £28/29k mark they don't appear to be particularly in demand.

That said, they are over 350 2019 model GTI Performances for sale starting at £22k
