6th B7

Post by HYFR » Mon Nov 10, 2014 3:29 pm

Well, I'm on to my 6th B7 now
3rd cabriolet

I know they are gay but find me another 4 seat 414bhp V8 for the money

It's actually to be my wife's car mainly having sold her A4 cabriolet final edition.

So, randomly looking at AutoTrader ... Some observations

1. Only 12 listed for sale in the whole country

2. 4/12 are cat C/D ?? WTF, they really are being bought by hairdressers who can't drive and a bending them.

3. Including the cat c/d's there are only 3 non black cars

4. If you have a requirement that goes something like

- buckets
- average miles
- not black
- not written off

You are buggered

So makes this rare car even rarer.

But aren't hairdressers really good at bending?
No matter where you go, there you are.

The buckets are all silver

The interior needs a clean up, but I'll get it brand new again

Nice, first ones I have seen in all silver.

Be worth the effort, they look really nice when they are clean.

I have a spare set of leather covers that are about to be refurbed if you have any problems getting your ones to clean up.

Not normally a fan of the cab but that is a really nice example.

That's a good colour combo! Gliptones leather cleaner and a soft brush will do the bizz I'm sure!
