Its believed the last ever was registered on an S plate in 98.

That second statement is hard to understand Darren.

They arrived in the UK early '92. 26 months after that would make it late '94 for the last of the UK imports by that reckoning. Yet some of the UK cars such as Arthur's '96 Polo Green, they are the OBD 11 cars with the one body colour. These cars only came on the world market in '95.

On the other hand, it could explain how a lot of '95 and '96 UK cars are the Claret and Black, and other pre- '94 build colours. They must have sat around in the system forever before finding a buyer.
