ok so it was only a basic red one but it was sooo good to see one out and about!
It was in High Wycombe on the A40 it wasnt a test drive it had private plates
I haven't seen any since the patriotic red, white and blue trio the other week (and one of those was mine!). I thought there'd be more of them around by now but they still seem to be like rocking horse droppings here.
I think there would be a market for an up! Red ie same spec as white &black but with red trim....currently you have to spec up a high up and even then it misses out on some nice wee bits.
I imagine vw like Skoda and seat will have lots of specials in the future, like the fiat 500 and smart marketing dept are so keen on.
Northfield Cirencester have a red High up! in the showroom which I'm sure they will be delighted to sell to somebody out there. It's been there for the past 3-4 weeks, so if it's not sold already, it should be about to be replaced and available for early delivery.
Regarding up! special editions, VW had various potential 'specials' on display at a recent motor show - some slightly 'off-the-wall'. I suspect that these will start to appear once the GT up! and E-up! have been launched.
I've seen loads of reds and whites, a few silver and only one black. I do like the red, but I was struck by the black, not literally of course. I think a lot of people here drive a fair bit for work, so a 60+mpg car makes sense. I see loads and loads and loads of Citroen C1's and its two siblings.
I still feel surprised and delighted when I see another Up, or a Citigo. Not seen a Mii yet.
