Hi Stewart,

I can reveal I am the new owner of that beauty.

Much the same as you I started with the same dream of no-one knowing waht it was! I then got auction fever and won (I was a telephone bidder). I just couldn't let it go in that condition as full set and had to at least pass through my hands. I thought either way it had to stay in the OTD community and if needs be could re-sell here to keep in the community.

Once I pick it up I will post some photos as have read some previous discussion (on your website I believe) about how the original packaging looked so some good quality photos of the package may be apprecaited by the everyone? I still live in hope that the original card bears the name of one of the great Audi Quatrro rally drivers.....(though doubt it very much!)

Now may need to do some clearing out to pay for it!

All the best,

Hadleigh

: I hope someone here grabbed it!

: For those that don't know what I'm talking about.. there was an
: auction this morning at a small UK auction house, in what seems
: to be a collection of general old stuff. Nestled amongst the old
: rings, paintings, vases and bric-a-brac was a seemingly NOS Full
: Set Audi Sport.. Estimate of £800-1000.

: I eagerly awaited the auction.. but I knew it would get interesting
: when there were 3 phone bidders from the start.
: My dream of snagging it for £800 soon faded, and it sold for
: around £3500 inc. all the fees. Still not a bad price
: considering it's condition.

: Congrats to the buyer :0)
