Its a 1950 split screen deluxe, will ask a few people see if i can shed any light.

A few from my collection.

Colin signing my shirt at Goodwood, two months later I was coming into Angouleme in France for the start of a rally with my navigator and my brother phoned me and told us over the intercoms he had gone, the next couple of miles where in total silence.

One of the car from September this year in Italy.

I notice none of these F40 hogging Arabs have an Impreza STI RA in their collection!

It just so happens I have one here I'd generously donate in exchange for one of those old F40's, a selfless act I know but I'd be up for it

The audi A4 is a no no imo.

nothing inspirational about a new a4 with cheap rims plonked on! sorry but its the truth!

bikes nice but womans nicer.

also what do you deffine as "built"? unless you built the audi from a bare shell putting aftermarket wheels on a eurobox aint "built" its more adding/changing

well you all ways get one hatter

there was nothing said about the audi being built ?
both bikes were built by me from total loss bikes
and why did i post the car and bikes

i had my house burgled in jan and they get the audi and both bikes.
the audi was returned totaly fubar so it had to have every panel on the car redune

and replaced the standard rs4 wheels wheel barbus monoblock s wheels.

i love the car and really loved to bikes that i never got back.
