#56 - with plaque, two matching keyrings, umbrella, presentation box and pen.

Looks like we have three in a row on the forums here , #55, #56 and #57

Supposedly there are 10,062 globally of which there are 5,000 in the US and 2,391 in the UK, 200 in Australia (well 199 + one damaged in Germany and not sent) and 200 in France.

Deep Blue Pearlescent - 813
Diamond Black Pearlescent - 755
Reflex Silver Metallic - 615
Moonlight Blue Pearlescent - 57
Tornado Red - 44
Grey Anthracite Pearlescent - 31
Indigo Blue - 76

There have never been an official breakdowns of which are 3 and 5 door though, but the 5 doors are rarer. These are the worldwide numbers:

Diamond Black (pearl effect): 3,979
Reflex Silver (metallic): 2,828
Deep Blue (pearl effect): 2,257
Moonlight Blue: 419
Tornado Red: 267
Indigo Blue (pearl effect): 174
Grey Anthracite (pearl effect): 120
Black: 15
Morano Red (pearl effect): 2
Jazz Blue: 1

The Jazz Blue one refers to the original 'concept' car that was shown at a car show and is the reason the brake calipers are painted Jazz Blue, and its thought the Morano Red and the flat Black ones are VW owned. The rest of world figures would be included in the difference to the total. (Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong etc etc)

French cars were also numbered with an "Edition 200" plaque on the cupholder above the radio.

Total Figures from UK tyresmoke site...for some reason they call "Black Magic" "Diamond Black"

Here is a pic of the Jazz Blue Essen Show Car:

Note the BREMBO calipers!

You just need to follow this up with a photo of an R32 in each colour

Those Brembo calipers look pretty darn big!
