It's a Speed Edition and was a project of VW-trainees in 2006. Only 200 were built: 100 in Lamborghini Orange and 100 in yellow.

EDIT: All the info is in your second link.  :happy2:

Seems expensive to me but no idea on how sought after they are.

Here is the same car,
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VW-Golf-Sports-2-0-GT-TDI-3DR-ORANGE-SPEED-EDITION-NO-/251117427463?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item3a77c3db07

Looks like the price has inflated a bit


Plus i have just noticed it is nether a ED30 or even 2.0tfsi as advertised in the first link?

Wow... that's certainly a colour that maybe only a 150k+ car can carry :)

Reading the first link I was very impressed however upon seeing the eBay listing I must agree it looks like a badly modded 32!

I can confirm steves comments. I'm sure this car turned up on our club stand at tatton park. I had been written off and it's a German import converted to Rhd. That would put me off somewhat from buying it

So its a NON limited edition, written off, Import for stupid amounts of cash?

Sounds like a bargain to me, Would love to see a HPI checkof its history :popcornsoda:
