Seen a few by me but to be honest looking at them glad mine looks relativity standard and not doing things just to try score scene points 

Always seems to be the case, when i got my fabia I'd only really seen a red standard one that had been around for years now there's about 3 or 4 black ones all modified in some way, a white one (wrapped) and I've seen a few silver and red. When I first past my test and got a fiesta zetec s there was only a few in town but within a few months there were loads. Just one of those things, think if you want a rare vRS go for a wrc one as your less likely to see another white one

I bought my Octavia simply as a means of dropping my older VWs to a gentler pace of life. But since buying it i've noticed its one of eight in our street. Road adjacent has one with a similar reg in the same colour, spec and condition as mine. Hadn't really noticed until it arrived 

Whereabouts on the south coast? I got mine, and found three other black vRS' in the same town, along with a couple of red, silver and yellow ones!

 

In sunny Winchester!

 

However I am at University in Portsmouth, and so far I haven't seen any on Portsea Island at all....I'll keep an eye out for you though, lol! Mine's easy to spot - black, de-badged on the rear, with a private plate

Mine is super rare! It's the only 1.8t 6spd 4x4 silver hatch I know of running on 15's

Dont see many at all.!

Living in NW London, I've not seen any other White Mk1 vRS around

300 yards from my house there is a rally red 52 plate. Someone on here who drives a 53 plate black magic, a yellow one Sith black wheels, at least three silvers and a couple more black magics......common as fook now in sunny scunny! Still not as common as race blue mk2 and 2.5's......must be at least 8 or 9 I've seen!

I live in a town with about 150.000 people and from 2005 a yellow vRS was my favorite car:). There was a black one for a couple of years but it was sold. So, from 2009, when i bought mine, there are only 2, my silver and the yellow one.

So pretty rare, but, there are a lot(15-20) Octavia mk1 with the vrs kit, front bumper and rear wing, including wheels..

I will probably keep it forever as it's not worth selling with all the parts that went in it..

That's because other that the WRC models, they didn't make any white Mk1 vRS's.

They're all ex-police models.
