Hmm. "The ad you are looking for is no longer available."
So I guess somebody did grab it.. What was it? and which one of you bought it?

scratch that. I found it further down. This is an important car.

A short article about this listing is available here:
Also, who at Hemmings of all places, thinks it's called an "MK 8?" a travesty, I tell you..
I "borrowed" the photos and reposted them here, for historical purposes.

There. That's it for photos..
Although interestingly, there's an article here that depicts the car sporting a good sized dent in the front fender, that I don't see on these shots.

That is the car JW wrote about and it's been on our website maybe for almost 20 years now. Last I recall it was in a museum in a dark corner as shown in the photo on our web page.
