what about informing PVW, Golf+, EVO, Top Gear, edition 38, club GTi, newspapers, 5th gear - basically anyone in the motoring world with some sort of clout - or to sufficiently embarass VW - we all bought a car that was sold to us all as a 1500 only production run ONLY - not god knows how many more !!
Is there any actual written evidence of the production run being limited to just 1500 cars. If there is, and it is verifiable, then all 2300 Ed30 could actually sue Volkswagen for breach of contract - either as individuals, or as a group action. Trading Standards - preferably the Trading Standards for Milton Keynes council (because that is where VW UK is officially based) would definately offer some advice, and may even take up your case. It is basically selling goods under "misrepresentation".
....I think you would lose your case on this question of being sold to as a 1,500 production only because you will most likely find that there is no written evidence to VW limiting their production run. A "Special Edition" is not the same as a "Limited Edition" and no Limited Edition was ever declared.
I agree on being cautious with the wording - however, if verifiable official sources give a definative number, ie "1500", then the wording is irrelevent, and if VW did build, and more importantly, SELL 1501 or more Ed30s, then they have clearly mis-sold a product. UK law is very clear on these issues. But the real crux is actually finding the correct official info.
