It appears to have been withdrawn due to pressure from owners who wrote to VW Milton Keynes stating that they are in breach of their original 'limited to 1500 units' statement.
VW attempted to bury official press releases bearing the dreaded 'limited' word but this being the 21st century and everyone having t'internet access it wasn't possible to 'make it go away'.
'Tonker3' on the 'UK-MK4's' website recieved a call yesterday from VW stating that UK production of Edition 30's would cease immeadiately, and it appears that they've backed it up by withdrawing it from sale officially.
VW have also stated that would make public the total numbers produced for the UK market.
To those who bothered their arses (Tonker3 especially) to write in and harass VW for clear breach of contract, good on you, the little guy has claimed a victory for masses.
I guess we should all now await the new 230ps 'special release' (but definitely not ED30) Golf GTI.
