WR1s in short supply?
My dealer today told me that each dealership gets 3 cars. By 31/03 any dealers who have not sold their allocation get their cars put back in the pot. My dealer has sold & cars & they're not taking any more orders.
Anyone know if this is true?

If you buy on based on ltd edition of 500 and they double it P1 style later, you could sue for any drop in residuals when you sell (if you can prove it was because of the fact they ain't as limited as they were - tough one). Hope they don't anyway the fact they are limited to 500 is one of its main plus points (well apart from the lurvely colour of course!) .

If they extend the production run it will be like the Clio Williams supposed limited production run.
I think owners threatened to sue but nothing ever came of it. IIRC.

And no its not an April fool.
Don't want to advertise for someone I don't know / havn't used so e mail me if you want the web address.
Oh and I'm on Holiday from 12 noon Friday so be quick !

Nick, Would you like to view my WR1 when (if) it arrives??
