Bloody hell! I wonder what it's like, what power it makes etc.

Very impressive mileage, indeed! I hope it is still the original engine and gearbox - that would be a great advert for Audi and quattro GmbH.
I guess Ceramic brake replacements became a little too painfully frequent - it appears to have the calipers but with steel discs.

It would be interesting to run it as a daily, simply to see how far it would go.

This is great news, hopefully I have at least another 80,000 miles in my one then!

Might email them to ask if the timing chains have been replaced etc.

Car still looks in good condition apart from the sheen on the steering wheel and the knackered driver side bolster.

I thought the ceramic setup had a different offset from the iron brakes?

Luke, I must have passed your sprint blue at some point (with dark wheels), possibly in cowdenbeath high street? Mine is the mugello.

About £60,000 worth of petrol gone into that car!

That's impressive, yes would be good to have some feed back from the owner/owners, I bet they have a few story's to tell?

That is phenomenal. I'd like love to think mine will see this number on the same engine. Would be infinitely more impressive if it's the original timing chains / tensioners too.
