I want to post some pics but i cant yet so i will later on Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Hi all its all stock at the moment i am stripping it to repaint it i want it to look standard and maybe fiddle with the engine it was from flea bay LOL

As Russ said, we want details! LSD? what colour? what trim colour? how many Ks? 86, 87 or 88 model?

ok cool all stock its red over silver with sadle trim it has 156000kms 86 model it has a lsd also.I have been looking for months especially a red one this came up so i grabbed it it needs work though i think i was lucky cause i wanted a genuine factory unit which this is all the numbers match A8 block turbo auto and LSD
