There was one silver Plus at Audi Worcester the other week which also looked like a write off.
And no, it wasn't mine!

I thought they registered more than that in the UK......around 250 I think but I could be wrong.

I'd heard about 70 too, but out of a total run of only 500, not the 999 that the plaques suggest. Apparantly there were no more buyers so stopped half way through.

I seem to remember a figure of 62 for some reason, although I can't remember where I saw/read that :?: Something to do with lack of orders as stated above I think. If that figure is true, then that would mean that there are now fifty-something left I'd say. I could be wrong though..

Or put another way - you are unlikely to see another one on the road!

There was a Sprint Blue plus being broken on eBay at the the start of the year (small frontend & engine fire).
All 4 door doors (but with no door cards) & tailgate up for sale, but didn't see the seller offer any other parts, so I guess the rest had already been sold.

I wonder when they will stop depreciating in value then??? Bit of a collectors' item! I've just re-warrantied mine for another 12 months, 90K miles now and going better than ever.

I think they may have bottomed in January-May this year. All second hand cars have picked up value since then, performance cars especially have had a big "bounce"

I`m wondering if there are still any out there not yet registered? I have seen on Topmarques a lotus carlton on an "R" plate for about 30K
Aren`t there allways a handful of cars left that dont get registered until later.
Please correct me if I`m getting this wrong?

S3ADF, yes had it from new, really enjoyed it as well, don't know what I would replace it with even if I wanted to. The new one is very nice but not as appealling as the V8 IMHO.
