How many B5 RS4s in UK?

Post by Nastypsychoboy » Tue Feb 02, 2010 12:23 am

Hello,
I rarely see another B5 RS on the road, anyone know how many produced in the uk?

Quite nice driving something quite rare, when I get a chance to but it's currently off the road :roll:

There was c400-450 officially imported but no idea how many are left. A number have been written off. At a guess maybe 350-400 left?

Depends where you live, as there seem to be clusters in certain areas.

Excluding meets, there's one other car I see every day, and a few more I see fairly regularly - I'm in SW London.

Apart from a meet, I've only seen one other in 18 months.

Perhaps I need to get out more :)

if i ever work in the walton on thames area i always see a black b5 rs4 in the morning going the other way . thats the only one i ever see on a regular basis apart from that i never really see any, plenty of b5 s4`s and i do see a lot of c6 rs6`s about. Nice to have a uncommon car
