[BMX]

if the cars been writen off then i cant see a problem with selling it. someone may buy it to make a replica look more realistic. if its not from a write off then it is certainly wrong

I am sure he will be along right enough to explain. But the production run of the ED 30 caused lots of anger and dis- belief over in this country. VW promised buyers that there would only be 1500 produced but it ended up about 2300.
Lots of our members fought for some recognition of this over run and it has only recently been resolved in the form of these numbered badges, and even this VW have managed to cock up somewhat.

So it is a very sensitive issue over here and people selling there's or copying them just hits a nerve at the moment. You are right it shouldn't bother people what others do with there's, But it just does its a unusual situation and this is the first for sale.

Thx TC, it helps understanding the reason for deleting the tread.
In Denmark we haven't got the ED30 so it's even more rare here, i know of one, so we seek to find collectables, my reason for bidding on it is to replicate the style for my own badge to my "R20".

[Top Cat]

Its a strange one really, i guess you have to own a ED 30 to understand what the badge means to them. But you are right if you look at it from another country i guess it would seem mad. 

If your paying over £25,000 for a limited edition car, then find out that its not as sold, then i think rightly, that piss would boil somewhat.  :

Plus the plaques apply only to UK cars, not any other EU-registered cars (I think).

Hence if someone has a plaque, they can:

 - pass off their import ED30 as a uk one, which affects the resale value
 - claim their car is build number xxxx when in fact it isn't.

But a quick call to VW uk will show otherwise surely?

Don't see the problem myself, it's his to sell.  There will be loads of Ed30s without plaques and if someone wants to try and clone a car they will do it with or without the plaque.  Also, the fact that there were many hundreds made over the promised 1,500 doesn't exactly make them super exclusive, it must be one of the largest limited edition runs ever.

i think that honour belongs to the MK5 .:R32

My GT3 is one of 237 UK RHD 911 (997) variations and doesn't come with a plaque
