Pearl V8- **Has Been Sold** - Page 2

Hi P-D,

Couple of "unusual" items; it will have an auto/quattro gearbox, and it will have a Torsen rear diff.......... As far as I am aware, the only one they did. That is why the rally boys like 'em!

Sadly, another lovely elderly Audi which is worth much more in bits than complete.........

It's complete at the mo, but i believe the engine/gearbox has been promised and wheels as well. I saw it today and it looked body wise good shame as it's a pearl as well

Ohhh I wanted the pearl wheels but they had gone

seems a pity, but as others have said, cars like this are more valuable broken and sold for parts than keeping them alive.
Can't be that many V8's left on the road in the UK now.

I can see how much the whole car is but I suspect as the bits have been promised to others it will be a no no

itis a 100 v8 in pearl its been at tim coopers place for about eight months now it failed the mot on about three stupid things but the parts quote was more than the cars value with labour so the guy sold it to tim for parts but its sat there ever since , i know the engine and box are going in to a coupe quattro belonging to chris arch and the wheels now bellong to colin hinde but the rest of the car will be broken as far as i know oh and i think the rear dif goes to chris to as that is the special bit its the same as used in the s1 sport so i beleive , nice car though
