From their description "The, alloy bodied, S6 Quattro Turbo Avant was only available for the 1996 - 1997 production year and are now virtually impossible to find in the UK, There are a few LHD examples on the market in Europe, at very high prices."

I am sure alloy bodied ones are totally impossible to find. Mine is steel.

I think the estimated price is as fanciful as the description.

And is there any mention of mileage? To be fair, Barons are very 'up-front' and would no doubt clarify all with a quick phone call.

Fair point, "Small print" says it is vendor's description, not verified by Barons.

Photo of speedo is 150,000 miles. I would be interested to know if it sells and at what price.

My guess is between £1200 and £1500 at auction.

Did they ever make an alloy bodied one?

News to me if they did

Some bolt on panels may well be alloy but the structure is steel as far as I know

As far as i know it was only the A8 and A2 that where Aluminium bodies?
