Edition 30... limited ot not?
« on: 20 March 2008, 14:06 »
Hi guys,

I know there’s been a thread knocking around about whether our cars are limited to a total of 1500 units or not.

It would add weight to the argument with VWUK if you could check out this thread on http://uk-mkivs.net/forums/t/182036.aspx

The more that get involved the better chance of VW taking us seriously.

There are addresses on the link for you to write to + a pdf of the original VW document stating that a maximum of 1500 units would be produced.

It seems that more than 1500 units have now been produced, so in which case VW have misled us.

This is about the principle and not about residuals, or petty issues, etc.

Please find the time to get involved, apparently VW are seriously considering the matter.

Thanks... Hotrod

Agree up to a point Hurdy but if they had only limited Ed30's to 1500 I'd have never gotten mine  :sick:

Thinking about it (I'm sure you could hear the grinding noise) - might the GTI/ED30 situation be similar to the 8v/16v situation, that existed at least on the MkII and possibly others?

(My brother used to have an 8v MkII and I would constantly rib him about it.)

that would never happen, both models are limited numbers, as they are not mass produced and are only built to order.Which does match the reply from vw uk with recent question into why ed30's no longer a limited build.
