HI, the above motor has shown up in an old photo at Castle Combe when it was newish - DVLA shows it existed for 3 years but isn't SORN'd or taxed, just wondered if anyone here recalls it & knows what happened to it? Many thanks!

Cheers, thank you: I reckon it is LHD, difficult to tell as it's a distance shot, & not mine so I can't really post it up. I initially though it was HYL4W which was the press fleet car, it's the same colour. I wonder if it perhaps became one of the first UK rally cars? I'll check that link later!

Are you sure it isn't HYL4W? That car is still around.
That was my initial reaction but there's no photoshop involved, the photo is clear enough & both are/were brown coloured quattros. Perhaps there's a significance in both numbers I don't see?
