Audi RS2. How many are left . . . ?

[Lloyd]

Good work.
Told you could try the DVLA. Think I also said over 100 will still be around. However the one problem is you cannot sort LHD/RHD numbers which really fails to answer your original question (how many RHD left ?)

Just heard back from the DFT. As at 30.09.06 the number of licensed imported Audi RS2's was 14. The number not imported was 115.

Therefore, I think it's fair to say that there are 14 LHD and 115 RHD remaining licensed and on presumably active on the road in Great Britain. 17 SORN and 33 unlicensed/not SORN....

Can anyone think of an example of a RHD imported into the UK? Would anyone want to bother?

Again, if anyone can send me a reg no for S2 coupe and S2 Avant I will get that data too...

[Lloyd]

Can owners pls PM me with REGISTRATION numbers for both S2 Coupe and S2 Avant. I call then get the data as per RS2 above. Pls indicate which model your reg applies to in in the PM

Cheers,

Lloyd

Interesting - so does anyone know how to obtain this info for the S2?

[pastures16]

me too any update on these specs

[S2 PTH]

I'd be interested to know how many of all S2 variants are left! People keep asking me how rare my car is, and I say, well Rare, but im not 100%!

SORN- statutory off road notification

ie If the vehicle isn't taxed you have to register it as such.

[gmza]

Excuse my ignorance, but what does 'SORN' mean?

[Lloyd]

That 33 is a total of all unlicensed - crashed/exported etc - look at the spreadsheet !

Hi Paul,

Not quite. That's what I thought too at 1st glance....

However, if you take the total of GB cars 212
less 129 licensed
less 17 SORN
less (10+7+12+4) various unlicensed {yes, 10+7+12+4 does equal 33, but...}

This still leaves 33 cars !! hence my earlier comment
- perhaps there really are 33 'lost RS2's in barns dotted accross GB?

Out of the 180 rhd RS2s manufactured, you have to take into account that not all of them came to the UK.
Certainly a number went to other rhd markets such as South Africa, Australia/NZ & the Far East.
I would imagine that would get the starting figure of rhd RS2s in the UK down to around 150.
Yes they are a very rare car....................so why I have just sold mine

But if you look at Yorkshire and Humberside, there are none in the 4 listed 'unlic:' categories, yet 5 are listed as unlicensed... Maybe if you can afford to keep an RS2 lurking in your barn, it's easier just to pay the fines that drop through the letterbox than register it as SORN...

Yes, the original question stands un-answered. I have requested some more info on this
split. Fingers crossed.

Seems a bit odd for 33 to be simply un-licensed...

It does but I guess if you checked out 'Vauxhall Corsa' you would put that figure into perspective

Really interesting read.

Looking at the North Eastern region and it shows how rare RS2's are. Mine is only one of two that are licenced in this area.

Thats how I haven't seen another one.
