Prince Harry's RS3
Discussion
Prince Harry's Audi RS3 for sale on Auto Trader at the minute.
Got me thinking, Would someone in his position actually drive around freely in London or wherever without a full on protection squad or is he ok to just jump in his Audi and head down to Tesco.
I remember one guy on here saying he saw him at a pub in Windsor and got in an Aston Martin when he left after having lunch but don't know what truth there is in that.
Here's the advert. I'm not associated or affiliated with this dealer in anyway. Just find it interesting..

Cheapskate!
i think they were Standard fit, although not listed in the spec.Cheapskate!
Edit:This dealer is just down the road from me, however, i am more surprised our local Audi dealer wasn't offered it to sell?
Or maybe they were?
Anyhoo, being as it's so local, i might pay them a visit for a test drive.

From the letter it looks like the car was provided for the Royal family and Prince Harry has driven it. Hardly what I would consider "his RS3" unless the V5 shows previous owner as Harry Wales or Windsor etc.
I mean from the standpoint of someone who is interested in the car based on who the previous owner was.

Would there be any proof Harry used this car?
His name won't be on the V5, it will be Audi UK or a division thereof.
I seem to remember the Green Cabriolet alluded to in the advert was for sale for a long time, at a ridiculous price too, not that I have any idea if this car is overpriced or not.
I've never understood why a car that had belonged to a 'celebrity" could be considered worth more than one owned by A N Other.
Although I suppose there are always fans who are happy to pay a premium.
Think I just answered my own question!!

Both William and Harry ride motor bikes around London because of the anonymity the helmet affords them. If they are on their bikes they often don't have security because it would draw attentionIt will have been registered to Audi UK, there maybe pictures on line of HRH driving it. It will have been advertised for sale through the Audi used car programme to the Audi Network. They may have bought it and then traded it out again.
It would have been shown as VIP fleet when advertised for sale...
The dealer with it is a friend of mine and trades from home, you won't be able to just rock up for a test drive!!!!!

Don't see why anyone would pay more, its just a "commodity" Audi, even if its a desirable model, worth exactly the same as any other one.
Can only see "Celebrity" cars being worth anything if distinctive and recognisable, like Princess Dianas Metro, piece of history with plenty of well known photos, without those its just another old heap.

Source?I only ask as I have a very close friend who works for the Royal Household. Not once (despite me sitting my bike test) has he mentioned that either Will or Harry have a motorcycle licence or indeed, have access to a motorbike.

It appears to be fully loaded so i would be surprised if they left that off?
