Wow!

I wonder if the buyer also wants a nicely restored PF S8?

Probably only if it was all original though.
Your technical improvements, great for most of us, wouldn't really cut it in that very rarefied market.

I'm assuming that has to be a private collector The problem i see with that is at that sort of money you'd very rarely ever take it out for a drive and therefore what's the point in owning it

I know someone with a Sport quattro, which he's just sitting on as a retirement fund. I think the last time it moved was 10 years ago, and that was on trade plates for a one off appearance at a pub! That was disappointingly quiet on the exhaust front - quieter than the stock cars.

Chap I worked with back in the late 90s absolutely loved these - he had an early 10V and a last of the line 20V at the same time, as well as a Mk1 Scirocco. I was always impressed by the torque and noise (I had a Passat GL5 at the time, so mine kind of sounded similar!). Not a car I ache to own now, but do appreciate them for what they were back in their day.

That one will probably never move beyond MOTs in order to maintain its value - bit like the recent McLaren F1 with 3 figure mileage for $20.5m but on a fractionally different desirability scale!

This. So no different from a rare painting, etc. As such, not really a "car" in my book, so pretty irrelevant.
