haha! I'm sure i seen him yesterday in fact

My god thats mint but i didn't think they'd be that expensive, there was one on ebay - germany earlier that was for sale with 6hrs to go at 1 Euro. it was basically a shell - but still!

I think i'd like to find one in need of major TLC and give it some love!

Thanks for the web link though - i'll keep checkin it out!

In fairness, that Red 50 on Mobile dot de has been up for sale for at least 6 months now.

so, I'd have thought by now that the seller should have realised he's taking the piss a bit with his price! Hard really to say what they go for as they seldom come up for grabs.
Just buy an early Mk1 polo and stick an Audi badge on it!

oh stop teasing with those pics - i never thought i'd like a green one but the dark green one about half way down those pics is absolutely gorgeous!

Should i be unsucessful in finding a 50 (and damn it i will find one...ggrrr!) what are the real tell tale differences between the polo and the 50? interiors? a few exterior bits? the badge? lol.

less scene tax with an Audi......

As I recall there was virtually no difference between the early Polo and Audi 50. In fact the Polo was just a re-badged Audi 50.

In fact I have got an Audi 50 badge somewhere and a grille badge so just find a Polo and you can rebadge it!!!!

Hello all,

Carsnmusic, I think that this one is still for sale :
http://cgi.ebay.fr/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?...MEWA:IT&ih=008

I've discussed with the seller :
- The tires must be changed
- There's a little leak at the radiator
- A couple of dings on the front of the bonnet and the right wing (Both at the same location)
- The right hand mounting of the front bumper is a little bit twisted, but the bumper is OK.

Excepted these points, the car is in very nice condition.

From the opinion of a friend of mine, specialised in this car, its value should be +/- 1300 euros.

Tell me if you want me to contact him.

Cheers,

Patrick

and a footnote to Carsandmusic, don't let the distance put you off. The chances of finding a genuine Audi 50 in the UK are slim to none. In the grand scheme of things, France ain't that far away (and if you drove over to collect it, you could fill up with fags and booze to pay for the petrol!)
Somethings are just worth biting the bullet for and this is one of them!
I doubt you'd get another chance of a clean, tidy, low mileage Audi 50 for about a grand, well, not in the near future anyway.
