Hi Davy,
Did you acquire this in the U.K. or from the states direct?Prompted by reading about the low production number on your bike, I've just done a check on the vin and engine number on my A4, and it turns out to be the 207th A4 made in 05 1975. Good job you didn't choose this one back in 1998!

Jeez ... I thought I had a view !!!! :shock:

That is awesome Davy ... ya lucky wee pearsoon :D

Usually when a view of that level of beauty is available to the 'non-stinking rich' there is no chance of earning a living in the area. If that's not the case then let me know and me the ' bride, the dog and me bikes will be on the next ferry :lol:
