Default Anyone got one of these?

Audi A8 - very, very rare, probably unique..



Well it's a book, not a car.
ISBN 3-7688-0851-3 by Jurgen Lewandowski about the A8.

From a US web site also selling it (at $89):
Details on the aluminum body A8, and some info on the high performance version S8.

Chapters Include: Luxury and elegance in harmony, The Five Generations (The production and design details of the A8 Aluminum Body), Elegance and a quattro drivetrain (Engine, drivetrain and more vehicle design details), The path to realization (future possibilities), Return of the Silver Arrow (Prototype AVUS and Spider Details), A single summer's dream (more details on the Spyder), Exploring the past, The chronicle of automobile development, Technical Data.
Book is large and measures ~11X13 inches

Just bought a copy on fleabay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/190665085643

e.g. Cruise control, NavPlus/TV, Bose, GSM, Xenons, Solar roof, Parking sensors, Alcantara/leather everywhere of course. (internal dimming mirror added later)
1998 (very early) Ford Focus 1.8 Zetec; ABS/TCS, Heated screen/mirrors, Aircon. Added Auto-dim mirror, Leather seats, Trip computer, Cruise control, OEM Ford SatNav with CD changer.
And before that a lot of Rover 800s, a few oddities, a lovely Triumph Dolomite 1850HL with Overdrive and way back in my schooldays an Austin Seven aka Mini 850!
