Seriously surprised there hasn't been more interest in this, even just people admiring it I mean.

I would love to be in a position to own one of these, only going to rise in value aswell.

Does it live up to its stats on the road?

The more I look at it the more I like it!

Can remember back in early 90's at NEC Motor show when they unveiled it...

Very happy days when I thought 120bhp in my 5GTT was very cool😍

Great car, a bit of history as has been said. This was the car that caused questions to be asked in parliament about should cars as fast as this be allowed to take to Britain's roads

Yes tbf to Chris he has some serious OCD going on with his cars

I would have no worries doing another deal with him in the future.

Just finally realised I can't let my S4/RS4 go or I would be debating going for this LC.

Surprised this has not been snapped up!

All the best mate
