Edition 30 build number in sequence with engine number?

[M4T VW]

Hi Guys

So I bought an edition 30 last week but waiting for the log book before I can apply for my build number as it didn't come with the car.
I noticed this car posted on a facebook page last week, https://www.bonhams.com/auctions/19767/lot/240/
That car is build number 0001 with an engine number of BYD001008. Now, as my engine number is 001222 could I assume my build number is 214? Who has their build and engine number to hand to see if this works out? 

Cheers guys
Mat

That is a great find, fantastic.

My ED30 is 1753 build number with a certificate from VW UK Head Office

Thankfully I am now able to answer my own question. The engine number and build number are not in sequence.
VW have been very helpful to help me obtain my build plaque and called me two days in a row!

The first call was yesterday where she said I need to take my V5 to a VW dealer and register the car on their system in my name.
The second call was today to confirm that no one has requested my plaque and I am number 57! Pretty happy with a low number that that.

I just need to find time to get to VW and set the wheels in motion.

Hi mate how do u find out which build number is your edition 30?

Harry. You need to contact VW Customer Services. They are not the quickest but they will be able to tell you the build number.

Sorry to bump this old thread but I just got one last month and had to email VW Germany (it's a german car, german 1st reg with 4 owners in my country already) to find out, as local dealers were clueless. VW DE emailed VW RO and told me it is number 1753 and they are waiting for me to pay/collect the plaque when I have the car registered on my name.

Really weird! Could they have just given me some random number?

A knowledgeable friend told me it's normal as it's LHD vs RHD and they have different different serial number, weird anyway, I thought they were all produced in the same factory and each car had its specific number regardless of LHD vs RHD.

I didn't think they issued the plaque twice? Is it the same car that's on the list on here? Surely you cant have 2 different cars with the same number?

Yeah, that's what I was thinking also. This car was originally purchased from Germany, LHD, and had 4 owners in my country already. Maybe VW made a mistake in the email they've sent me saying congrats on owning the car 1753 or something like that. I will see when I will go there to order it / pick it up.

If it's the same number and there are 2 cars with the same number I will make a dasauto video out of it
