Wow! A pleasant surprise in that it truly is a 'limited edition'. Is that worldwide or just UK?

And how many Edition 30's got built, I wonder?

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

Serious folding though for what effectively is the same car with different wheels and yellow stitching!

Not jealous just realistic.

wow , that is rare. nice one Nathan  :notworthy:
I dont suppose you got a colour / gearbox type split did you too ?  :ashamed:
I actually prefer the pirelli to the ed30. It just so happens that the ed30 primed everyone for a great tuneable car but VW made too many lol.

I've only seen one pirelli edition On the road. Having said that, in the month of ed30 ownership, I've also only seen one other ed30! I imagine quite a few ed30s have ended up as scrap!

Somehow I don't expect Volkswagen will be complaining about the number of Ed30 sales :grin:

Music to my ears

It is nice to know I have a rare model car - despite the fact that most black golfs with darkened rear windows and 18" wheels look similar !!!

It may also help a little come resale

Thanks for passing on the info

Its a double edged sword that...

In many ways I'd be breakdancin in my kitchen to own something so rare, but then I'd feel really guilty about putting the miles on it or modding it.

As above ^^^^ a true limited edition....
