Not a clue, cannot see the back of the car from the street to look at the badge.
Depends on the age- if its an early one then there's 50/50 chance of it being diesel; the later ones were mostly gasoline after Oldsmobile ruined the diesel engine for car owners in the US.

I collect it in Sunday. Unbelievable value. I think a few of you have owned it.

I have wanted an A8 D3 since I first saw one in the queue for a ferry way back in 2003.

Someone is coming to see the TT tomorrow.

3 of my cars have been owned by the same shiter(s) at one point and are all bikes:

A8 was owned by Paul, Robson and NorthernMonkey (as well as JonK, 83C, Kilton and Schaefft)
Saab was owned by Northernmonkey (Also sri05 and Wack)
Red A4 Cab was owned by Robson and then Paul and before them, DaveQ.

Only the TT has been owned by 2 shiters including me and it looks like that will end if it sells this weekend.
