Coupe may have more pulling power, but the C3 has more shagging space.

Great for shifting around the 'byproducts' too!

Love the model number that black one. it's like a Carlisle postcode gone wrong.

I had other models in mind but hey, I'm no such a specialist in the British finest as you are.

Until now, it was legally forbidden to import "old" technology (classic cars) in China.
This changes on 1/1/2016, and with their hunger for prestigious cars, they intend to buy oldtimers for private collections.
Difficult to judge what this means, but for sure it's pushing the market.

Perhaps the Chinese will want Audis as well, then more parts will become available for us, though by then we probably will not be able to afford them.

Opening up the Chinese market probably means that classic cars become even more attractive to thieves...

I'm sure there will be a few old Rollers, Bentley's and Daimlers heading out East as well!

Looks lovely! Quite cheap too!

Has anyone seen that ridiculously over priced red Wr quattro on eBay? It looks about £15k over priced at £25k! Just nowhere near original enough for it's asking price
