What do they show as on the V5?

My auntie and uncle are on their second ex-Audi UK owned Audi A4, no complaints, believe the first one was for an employee based at Bentley Crewe

Not belittling the car your aunt has, but I'd suggest that an Audi owned R8 would get treated very differently to an Audi owned A4

Yes - the A4 definitely won't have lapped Silverstone / Castle Combe / Bedford Autodrome etc!

Not until your aunt got it, anyway

I almost persuaded her to bring it to the Rockingham skid pan day! Haha

She loved my S4 having previously strongly disliked four wheel drive cars and estates. Definitely what persuaded her to move to quattro Audis, and a set of winter wheels via this very forum.

The guy who had your RS3 didn't have it long! :p

Hi, I have not posted much here before and had a few changes of cars since I did. BMW M3 CSL, Audi S3 with REVO/Milltek and now BMW 1M. However, looking at potential purchase of an Audi R8 V10 and scouting around to see what's available. That one at Hatfield is still being advertised and I spoke with one of the Sales guys on Tuesday. It's a 2 owner car, not in their hands yet, but a deposit has been taken apparently. Not sold though. I got him to list out the spec...

I asked what the V16 suspension option was and he replied "V16 suspension is just the set up that Audi put it to on the spec sheet and as it was a launch car it shows slightly different to normal."

Good price though and maybe as you chaps have said, it's because it was an 'Experience Car'.
