Thought this was more apt in the B5 forum.
It's a two page feature about C5 RS6 and B5 RS4 and how affordable they are now but also how rare good examples are becoming.
Two pics from Fontains and also a mention for NJ too.
It can only be good for our cars.

Can someone scan it, and upload it, as I don't live anywhere near a newsagent

LOL, neither do I, it was the perfect excuse to go out for a spin!
I have it here but have no scanner etc... I'm also not sure of the legalities too.

Good job NIILS.
It can only be a good thing for residuals!

Was gonna buy a copy but I feel this forum with the likes of neckarsulm and it's own buying guide gives me much better info.

Always nice to read about them though. At least they're not quoting really low prices for shabby high milers which then leads some buyers to think better examples should be cheap too.

That must be a rare RS4 in Merlin Purple?

Merlin Purple is indeed rare, never seen or even heard of one in that colour.
There aren't many colours I wouldn't have but IMHO that is one of them.
Thanks for the tip Contigo, bought the mag and glad I did.
Your are correct about the effect on residuals.
We just need Evo mag to do a buyers guide on B5 RS4, have emailed them even giving them most of the info needed but to no avail.

I'm sure EVO have mentioned B5 RS4s recently - not a feature though

I mailed evo months ago asking for the same and not heard anything.
