Only my crappy mobile phone to hand and its camera couldn't cope with the contrast, I'm afraid.
I'd never driven a car before with a speedo reading to 220.
Lovely noise and beautifully laid out in the cabin; a driver's car.

I have no idea about R8 prices but that sounds like a steal to me!

[Baz Tench]

I'm not up on them either, but from the OP's wording of that question, it must have been a steal.

Current climate, fuel costs and all that....

[wackojacko]

HMMMMM not convinced ...... next time take a tin of Birds custard powder

[Pork]

£55k?

[DomBertone]

I need to know what it went for now!

[uncinquesei]

Glasses trade: £82,600!!!

[driverrob]

£76,400.
Just short of the £77,000 thought to be its reserve, but it sold.
