Not sure how many have been registered up to date but there seems to have been a lot for sale so far for a Car that is made in limited numbers and most of as have had to wait over 12 Months for (Over 20 for sale at the moment and I reckon it must be near 50 I've seen advertised inc the ones now since launch)
speculators i am afraid

expect to see A1 quattros up for 50k ....
But how come the speculators get their Cars 1st and us enthusiast have to wait (I was 1st on my dealers list ROI Sept 2010 paid deposit Jan 2011 got Car delivered just over 6 weeks ago)

they dump a deposit down as soon as they hear a rumour about a limited car that may resell for over book

and i suspect some of them are working with or are dealers acting via a third party, the old sale or return cars that dealers sell are very iffy imo

harris in his video said 14 (or 15) of the 20 coming to the UK had already been sold and that was a few weeks ago, i dare say audi uk will keep one as the car is to celebrate 30 years of quattro

It's all down to who you know and the connections of the dealer.

Some dealers appear to get priority I'm afraid.

I was lucky and was able to get their showroom model changed to my spec. As far as I know, no more have been delivered to Northern Ireland (makes me fell special) so I'd probably still be waiting too
