Background: With reliability and economy important factors in the used market, hopes were high for this vehicle. Together with legendary diesel engines and Audi build quality, this particular example offered buyers full leather and cruise control as extras as well as being in mint condition. Interest was high in the vehicle presale, with numerous fax bids all exceeding reserve. This led to frenzied bidding in the hall with an array of buyers competing to secure the vehicle. This ended with an eventual selling price of £15,900, some £2,900 above reserve.
