Phaeton Sales

[n968412L]

Anybody know how many Phaetons have been sold in UK. I think someone told me recently it was still less than 1000. Is this right?
Thanks

Hi Mike,

I don't know, but that won't stop me...

Here in the UK there were about 100 per year in 2003/4 according to the MoT figures in the forum.

Global production was reportedly generally around 5,000, rising to 10,000 in the last two years.

So that would make say 700 up to 2009, and maybe 300 in 2010 and 2011.

So 1,000 would sound about right.

I see about one Phaeton every two months, in fact I see just as many Bentley Continental GTs, of which they sold 30,000 globally, excluding Flying Spurs.

Cheers,
Chris

More exclusive than Lamborghini Gallardo in France, if you ask me (9 of those).
