Hi all long time reader but first couple of posts here from me.

So there is a little bit of a back story to this one if you dont want to read it thats fine skip to the next paragraph!! So I purchased a 9n polo gti recently and got rear ended whilst stationary at a red light, 3 days into my ownership and I s far from impressed when NRMA wrote the vehicle off (insured for 8k) so off I went looking for another GTi. I came across a mk5 gti Pirelli Edition, I went up had a look at it and parted with my deposit pending his mechanic getting it on the hoist for me to thoroughly inspect. This got me thinking about a few things. I am absolutely over the moon with my purchase, 1 owner from new all log books over 40k in maintenance receipts. Not the cleanest example in the world but a 100% genuine car, it has never had a panel touched by a panel beater or a ml of paint. Once I'm done cleaning it up I will definitely be showing the old girl off!

A How many of these were produced, now I was told somewhere along the lines of 222 of them where made but I have no idea the breakdown ie colour/gearbox/options there doesn't seem to be many for sale in Aus.

B How many where delivered to Australia? As there seems to be a heap of them over in the UK and a few that have even been written off.

Whos the Local guru I did try the search function but I found pages and pages of tyre threads not quite what I was looking for, I do apologise for the long winded post and if I have done something incorrectly I do apologise please pm me and I can move it to the appropriate area.
