How many left, approx. values & Side Trim question?
Hi to everyone.
I'm new to the site but have owned my Black 1989 Clipper Cab. for over 20 years. I only use her during the summer (I know what summer!)
She's very original and well looked after. I was just curious to know roughly how many are left today and also if anyone has an idea of approx. values? (Not that I'm going to sell her - had her longer than my kids!)
Also whilst I'm on - does anyone know where I can get the black side body trims stripped back and re coated? I don't want to buy replica trim and would prefer to get them recoated so they are original? Is this even possible?
Sorry for the multiple questions.
Many thanks
Nick

Your Clipper looks in very nice condition. I can help with your first question
On 31 Dec 2023, the numbers of Golf Mk1 Cabrio Clipper in UK were:
Manual: Taxed - 465, SORN - 1,554
Auto: Taxed - 137, SORN - 360
I'm guessing yours was one of the many SORN
There's a huge amount more data here for the curious:

Thanks typ_53b
She comes out in the summer only for 6 months and then goes back into hiding during the winter. Thanks for the howmanyleft link.
