Headlined as an ED30 but it doesn't look like one. Look at exhausts!

Imagine it was expensive when new.

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

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

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?

Post by: Slip on November 12, 2012, 09:34:43 pm: Wow... that's certainly a colour that maybe only a 150k+ car can carry :)

Post by: Veee-dubber on November 13, 2012, 08:40:27 am: Reading the first link I was very impressed however upon seeing the eBay listing I must agree it looks like a badly modded 32!

:(

Post by: JPC on November 13, 2012, 09:24:05 am: 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:
