Little Christmas Competition..
 
6 Attachment(s)
I thought we would do a little competition this week with a small prize for the winner.
Attached are some photos of the Pearl S8 and I would like everyone to list out as many factory options as they can see. Additionally, to make it a bit more tricky, also tell us which options we are missing.
Anyone listing something that was standard will have a point removed so please dont just list everything you see...!
The car is a late 1997 S8, UK bought and registered, and we havent added any extras ourselves.
To start you all off I will give you 1 which is Servotronic Power Steering - it was going to be very difficult to get that on a photo!
Answers please by latest close of business Wednesday 19/12/2012 by email to
enquiry@a8parts.co.uk. We will announce the winner(s) Thursday and the prizes will be shipped out to arrive Friday to go in your stocking! In the event of more than 1 perfect answer we will have to find some more prizes, and if no-one gets it spot on then we will pick the nearest correct answer.
IT - you are allowed to enter but if you happen to win then we will pick the next closest correct answer as well to receive the same prize!

I wondered if we could amend this a little? If I guess how many cleaning products are in the last photo, could I win the S8? :)

Are those not Xenon headlights, which would have washers fitted by default? :Confused:

Sadly they are Halogen - Xenon wasnt an option until mid 1998 so she's a bit too early.

Its interesting to note that in 1997 no amount of money could pursude Audi to fill in that one lonely blank on the dashboard of the S8.

If I spent 60-70K on a car, and ticked every box I think I'd be a bit miffed if it turned up with a blanking plate staring at me :p

Yes, but at your age all the button holes were fillable at a cost, your first owner was just too tight :p

briang9 22nd December 2012 12:01 PM

He probably gave most of them away - did you find any copies under the seats and mats? Lol :ROFL:
