Its not the same car due to the lack of a sunroof in the one currently available at Oxford Audi.
It is the same car, it has the pan roof and was sold & registered a few weeks before I bought mine. Check the spec out in the link I posted above the pictures.
Although the spec listed states a pano roof, I am inclined to agree with Silverfox42 - the pics from Oxford Audi certainly don't look like there is a pano roof. You can usually see the start of the pano roof in line with the roof rails, but in this case they are not visible.
When I was looking for mine, I was surprised at the number of mistakes regarding spec that I came across in advertised vehicles for sale at Audi dealerships.....
I'll stand corrected however, as always....

As someone who drives a Viper Green B8 I'm not scared of an unusual colour! However, not a fan of the yellow. I agree with the others that the B7 was a better shape for it. I do know from driving a bright green one though that people do have very different tastes on colours!

Was considering this as I was getting fed up looking for a rs6, Its mint but it was missing something, I am rethinking the RS6 purchase again and have been looking at this again and for me it needs some black wheels in the other v patten to set it off a little more , the I have noticed the riv blue one at fountain but that seems a little steep price wise compared to this one.

I like this, but then I like buying something different, something that stands out and this stands out!
I wouldn't be put off by the wheels, easily changed to black or replaced for V spokes.
Black mirror caps would set it of as well
Factor that in and make an offer
B8s are great cars and not as huge as the 6

Colour really suites the B8, I'm just not brave enough.

I like that, even with the chrome trim. I really miss our Imola S3.

Audi S3, S4 V8 avant.
Porsche Macan Turbo.
Gone but NEVER forgotten - C5 RS6 Misano red avant.

Seems to still be for sale - why don't Audi put all their cars on Autotrader?

The car's quite pricey IMO.

I had to go up to Leamington Spar today so took a detour on the way back to take another look, its still there , only issue and its not a big one if they deal with it and i missed it first time is there are quite a few stone chips on the lower edge if the front panel / lip spoiler. They wont move much on price either. Tempted but afraid I would regret not getting the 6 bit this is a far bit cheaper !

Thats my thoughts as well, hence not buying it.
