You'd think a 'specialist' classic car company could get a few details right, wouldn't you? So far, it's not a FE, it's not morning dew leather (I thought it was dark, too) and the wheels have been powder coated. but they still want £11K?
I thought I'd paid top dollar for James' S8: OK it's got higher mileage, but it is a real FE and in lovely nick, and I paid nothing like that!

The terminology for 'final editions' is a bit unclear in my experience. IIRC, everytime the press releases announcing the 'final edition' specs are posted here, they're referred to (by Audi I assume) as 'special editions'. I've not seen 'run out model' used before, but I'm sure someone here will clarify shortly....

Really???

Anyway i got a 96 final edition, very low millage (190+k) with every conceivable extra apart from the kit not fitted.
This car is immaculate in every way like it’s just come out the factory, there are stone chips to the front bumper and bonnet, some bubbling of the paint in places (so you know it’s aluminium) front bumper cracked, rear bumper scratched, passenger door dinted.
Interior is like it’s never been sat in, apart from dirty carpets, scratched wood, and a small cig burn to the driver’s seat.
Will hit the rev limiter in every gear apart from 4th, never been thrashed
ACC
Single din stereo with tape player (so you can plug you ipod in with a tape adapter (included in sale))
Sorar sun roof (like thebluewhale wants)
One lady owner from new and 12 others
Full main dealer history for a bit and then who knows who’s touched it.
All old tax discs
Water in the screen wash
Ford Transit aero wiper on the driver’s side

£7995 ono £7895 to forum members.

First to see will laugh their c0ck off
