Rarer than a continental GT :)

They've hit 30,000 and the 185 was only produced to 26K IIRC. Super.

Yup, apparently so - they are stepping up the production lines to run 10,000 a year!?

It would take 2 months to read the manual to get the settings sorted, lol, but I must agree, the M5 over the conti. Having said that, I'm gonna have to drive down to get a good look at something big and shiny in our local Audi garage and post it up ;)

Cheers

imho, 26500 is way too high...."Flowerpower" is not 100% correct, but a good reference never the less.


mine is one of the last off the production line after July 1989 @ # 10037 according to EPC and the "Russain site"

the highest 165 chassis numbers i have seen:

#10078 on TTE Tour De Corse '91




and  #10081 on TTE Safari '90

Gary.

hmmm guess its a well never know for sure thing.
but as u say i think 26500 is bit suspect although maybe half of them rusted before coming off the production line lol  ;D (i drive one im allowed to make that joke)

Fair enough, the evidence does point to somewhere around 10K then!
