Hi Matt
Welcome here! I saw your edit and will take you at your word (your name checks out, at least). Could you give me the page number for the Clubsport reference? I will make a new citation and format it for you. I hope you stick around.  Mr.choppers &#124;  ✎  16:59, 11 May 2023 (UTC)


 * Hi Mr. Choppers.
 * Thanks for the message. It's from page 169 of this book.
 * By way of background: I contacted the UK-based author of the 2019 vehicle description on our site that was cited as the source for the incorrect number (213), and he couldn't remember where he got that info from ("Sorry, mate. Best of luck to you!"). The book in question, however, is widely regarded as definitive, so 227 is definitely as accurate as we're going to get for this particular car. I have also updated the 2019 description on our website to reflect the correct number, so using it as a reference on the Wikipedia page should be fine.
 * We've actually just this year implemented a new data field in our internal publishing system that requires every writer to cite the source for production numbers in a given vehicle description, so hopefully these discrepancies will decrease over time.
 * Thanks for your efforts and I'm happy to be able to contribute to the accuracy of a resource that my team and I use on a daily basis. Depaula.matthew (talk) 14:34, 12 May 2023 (UTC)
 * I suppose the book reference will be the only one necessary now. So please disregard my comment about referring to our website for the Clubsport production number. Depaula.matthew (talk) 14:37, 12 May 2023 (UTC)
