And this is the Orange one from Wolverhampton via last port-of-call Sheffield. Doesn\'t seem to stay long anywhere? Poor old Tango.

this car also has air-con... wonder if it still works? that\'s one thing I miss in a 1st gen... the standard ventilation is woeful

Just pull over and stick the sunroof in the boot for ventilation :D

now reduced to £1950.... how much lower will it need to go to find a buyer.... and this is a very nice original car.
I can\'t remember the last time I know a 1st gen sold for 2.5k or above...
2 grand seems to be the top price at the moment for the best cars.
I bet it\'ll be even lower when we\'re paying £8 a gallon.

Interesting, so he still hasn\'t managed to sell this one. I left him to "mull over" an offer from the RPM, but he never got back to me. He still thinks it\'s worth more than we do (in the current climate).

Rear end looks like a corvette/ferrari,lose that skyscraper spoiler at rear.
S3 original rims sprayed black.
It looks like the works actually been carried out to a good standard,all it needs are lambo doors!
Like marmite,an acquired taste.:2Rolleyes
