Colour Rarity - Howmanyleft/general Info

[Stu 18]

Hi all,

 

I'm sure i saw a thread at some point talking about the colours and their numbers but cant find it now

 

As a split, how many GTI's were produced in the various colours?

 

How many are left more to the point?

I've got no idea how many are left colour wise but I guess the rarest colour (except that apparent yellow one) for the gti is probably topaz blue followed then by steel grey, laser green, Sorrento green, Miami blue, silver then around equal red, black, graphite grey and white although I'm sure I'll be corrected!

If eBay is anything to go buy then Miami Blue was actually called 'Limited Edition Miami Blue' as that is what everyone seems to sell theirs as.

 

It was a very popular colour that Limited Edition!

Its silver ones im most interested in, wonder how many are left?

Not many I bet but I'm helping to fix a fairly rusty one recently nothing like Damir's rotten cherry though!

Reason i ask is ive just dropped on a rough one with good trim that i intended to break to rebuild my track car, starting to wonder if its worth restoring the silver one with my mechanicals from the track car and building a 'cheap' track car from the left over bits and the red shell to sell on...

I recently sent my V5 to the DVLA to get the colour changed so there is one more in silver than there was about a month ago.

I bet its not that rough, get some pics up.

[Stu 18]

Oh its rough Mei. Imagine the chaviest, tackiest 'free' mods you could do to a car.... Then remove the skill level, and cheapen it some more.

 

Its being dropped off at mine in an hour or so, ill get some pics up then..

Can help fix my rusty silver one if you like, Mei!

[welshpug 1,657]

get some pics up boys, I'm not the one with the skills mind, I'm just helping

[S@m 156]

Will do when i can bring myself to look at it! But lets just say mine seems to have had impacts on both sides in it's life - not good. I can do an engine conversion but i have no bodywork skills whatsoever.

[welshpug 1,657]

Same here! Well just one side, I'm not bad with a grinder though
