We are delighted that we now have this car in our collection. And where better to give it its first outing than in the UK? We believe that this gesture is a fitting tribute to the people whose unique craftsmanship has brought this extraordinary car back to life.

- Thomas Frank (Head of Audi Tradition) commented.

I must have done something right last year if Audi Tradition is now prepared to let me take to the wheel for this maiden trip. But seriously, it’s a huge honour, which I sincerely appreciate.

- Nick Mason said.
