I was convinced when I saw the car that it was a simple alternator failure, but the fella selling it kept explaining that his friend knew what it was.
Confirmed! Generator failure. Doh!

Anyway. I bought the car, the alternator has been repaired. The car is being re commissioned as we speak.
Some screen/a-pillar repairs to be done. Then it can join my fleet.

I don't know how many V8s came to the uk, but I suspect I now have a not insignificant proportion of the running ones.

85 WR quattro
90 V8 Silver, 91 V8 Black, 93 V8 Lago
93 100e quattro V6. Titan, i think
