Any pics of this Pirelli Edition , of the bits that differentiate it from the other cars? Is it GTI or ED 30 mechanical specs?

Even rarer is the yellow/mustard coloured Pirelli I know of only 1 in the U.K and it resides it scotland, i did see one for sale down south but not sure if its the one thats up here now.

Well in Lancashire I maybe only see one other Ed30 a month, if that. And on the road (as opposed to at a show) I've only seen one other CW Ed 30 in my first year of ownership (and that was a 5dr not 3dr).
Most normal people have no idea what an Ed 30 is or how it is different to a normal gti, but I do enjoy telling them it's just a little bit more special than a standard gti!!
VW Golf Edition 30, Candy White, 3dr Manual. Plus a stunning Aston Martin V12 Vantage!

That wasn't an official UK colour Keith so must have been privately imported.  :happy2:

Its a shame they couldnt have designed a modern version of the P slot wheel for this car.

I have a theory :chicken:

The highest Edition 30 plaque number we have seen so far is Mr Moschops with 2275.  If they made 222 Pirellis, would it be safe to assume that there are in fact three more Ed 30's produced after Mr Moschops's, and with the Pirellis that makes a nice round 2,500 of what essentially is the same car?

Or am I just being silly and creating theories that don't exist :grin:

FOR SALE!
