They are super rare you can check the vin plate to see for certain but I certainly wouldn't respray it a different colour as only 20 yes 20 were ever made in honour of the emporer of Japans birthday or something similar no one really knows for certain!
Not entirely correct.
I have identified 52 DL2 GTI-R's built, and this data is only up to middle of September 1993.
I still have over 15 months (about 29%) of data to accumulate so I would expect another 15 at least so that would all up give about 70 units.
These were only built in Series 2 and they have all been RA spec, not one has been an RB spec.
Sometime ago a guy in America had one for sale. It appeared to be immaculent, he took a gas axe to it and chopped it up and flogged off the parts.
Rare, only to somebody who want's a concourse version to lock-away for prosperity.
