Default That Audi A8 book again

There's one at a bargain price (less than £15) on Amazon: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/offer-lis...qid=1420550920.

If you've got an A8, you really should have this book!

They do come up now and then at a sensible price. The one I bought for the Annual Meet raffle was around £20 I think, I sold my first one to Neil for £15 (torn dust cover) and my near mint version with autographs and certificate was only around £25.

Keep your eyes open on Amazon and search 'A8 Jurgen'
