    Yes 45 allocated to the UK but only 44 ever registered? At last count there were 38 licensed and 1 SORN.

    Very rare, Frozen Orange looks stunning and still the easiest car to look after I’ve every owned :roll:

    I’ve only ever seen one as well. I had wondered if it was the one you bought Dave as it was on the way to play Kirkby Lonsdale Golf Club going through Carterton on A683 a couple of years ago. It was parked up outside Town End Garage. I was well surprised when I saw it but it looks like there could be another one in the North West?

    I have never seen another on the road since I got mine in January. To be fair I barely see any G29s as it is, let alone as an M40i First edition in frozen orange.

    Can I join the illusive club please :D :evil:

    So as it turns out they are as common as muck! :lol:

    Thinking of starting a club of people without them. Much more exclusive! :D
    All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

    F31 320i. Good car.
    E89 20i Now fully dried
    Z3 'free litre'. Project and a half. Complicated!
    Mazda3 sold
    Tatty old R56 Mini Cooper. Money pit!
