Better hurry as Exonian may trade in his MK8 Golf R for this car 
I’m on it! 😁
(Not really, but it would be pretty much the perfect spec for me - 3 door, manual, white, basic spec and therefore more clubsporty)
There were a lot of cars punted out to VW dealers as unallocated builds towards the end of the production run. They had to either sell them by the 17 plate change or pre- register them, as 7.5 production started at that point they didn’t want unregistered model crossover.
Uptake on them was pretty slow as they were expensive compared to an R and didn’t benefit from the sales promotions such as VWFS deposit contributions. They were much more popular as overpriced second hand cars than overpriced new cars for reasons only known to enthusiast buyers.
